Slider bracelets

[Hootoots]

Hi all, hope you can help. I love these new slider beads from Cookies and wondered how you go about making it into a finished bracelet? For example what chain to use and how to put the ends on to stop the chain from being pulled all the way through? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Hazel

Do you have a product number? Not sure which beads you mean!

Hey George, thanks for looking. Here's the stock number NVQ SE08

This is the type of bracelet I'm looking at making https://www.onebyonejewellery.co.uk/sterling-silver-jewellery/single-strand-cz-slide-bracelet-in-sterling-silver/?utm_medium=googleshopping&utm_source=bc&gclid=CP3X5JHF888CFULnGwod8LgBDA

The hole is 3.3mm, so any chain 1.80 mm doubled up should pull through, using thread or wire.
The problem is that dimensions checked by you will rarely correspond to the dimensions stated, so in the end it is wise to get minimal samples to try out.

As for the ends as shown on Cooksons site, one hole balls would do, either soldered on, or carefully cold connected with Araldite or Superglue gel.
The holes will probably be too small but could be reamed to size with a diamond bead reamer, or a drill in a universal handle.

If you don't already have one and you plan to go on with making jewellery, then digital callipers would be very helpful an need cost very little: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Digital-Vernier-Caliper-Scratch-Warranty/dp/B00C2SFTJK
