Step 1: To get started, get your pliers

Tip from Mary: I prefer to take two flat tweezers without teeth rather than one flat tweezer and one thin flat tweezer. Indeed, since the rings are larger, you have to hold them securely without hurting yourself (slipping with the pliers).

However, you can do it with basic pliers .

Step 2: Take the chain and wrap it around your wrist to take measurements.

Mary's advice: when cutting or separating the links when the links are not welded, allow at least 1 cm to be removed to make room for the clasp and the chain. Example: if your wrist measures 14 cm, cut to 13 or even 12 cm the chain .

Step 3: I take my two flat pliers without teeth (or the flat pliers and the fine flat pliers) and I open my ring, tilting my right hand towards me. You can review the technique using our online tutorial .
