I’ve never really been one to follow rules when it comes to mixing metals. Rose gold, yellow gold, silver… I mix and match. For that reason, I was excited to see mixed metal jewelry pop up on Shopbop this month. This bracelet (also available in neon,) stood out as something I needed to have. It’s also incredibly easy to make. This is a great beginner project, and while variations of it have definitely been done before on other DIY blogs, I really love how the gold and silver chains look paired together.
{I opted to add in a pop of cobalt blue… you can do a lot of different things – neons, neutrals, or bright colors!}
Materials / Where to Buy: 17mm chain in silver + gold // leather cord in two colors // large lobster clasp // two jump rings // pliers

gladly, kuti! hope you try making it!
I think AJ would be really good at making me one of these 🙂
I think so too. Let’s buy him a craft kit.
I need a good resource in Chicago where I can pick up this chunky chain, such a great staple in DIY! Love this bracelet.
It’s from MJ Trimming… you should order some!
Another great DIY tutorial! I agree, I love mixed metals. The ring I wear every day is woven silver and gold and it makes it so much easier to incorporate different types of jewelry (because I’m not concerned about matching all gold or all silver).
Thanks Sarah! Totally agree.
Add this to the long list of DIY projects I need to try.

Thanks Sara!
Love this idea, but where do you buy your supplies from?
Hi Tara, I actually link to each of the products in the “Materials / Where to Buy” line after the second photo in the post. Hope that is helpful.
Thank you for the tutorial! I am new to DIY and am having difficulty with the weaving the rope. I wonder if it has something to do with the smaller chain I used. Did you have any troubles? It is not coming out as wonderful as yours!
Thanks,
Allison
