    This was very helpful. Do you have any ideas on how to repair the smaller chain when it breaks somewhere in the middle of the chain?

      I took one of the little rings off, bent it open with my fingernail, picked it up with pliers, hooked both sides back into the ring and closed it up

    Wow!! I was actually able to fix my teenage daughters gold chain that has been broken for at least 6 months now. I just can't believe it's actually fixed and I was able to do it at home. Thank you so much for posting this how to video... I'm so incredibly grateful!

    For anyone that doesn't have nose pliers like that you can use a large nail clipper to grasp the outside of the link and squeeze it back together when the lobster or next link is threaded inside it.
    I also recommend squeezing the ends together on the other rotation after the links are closed to ensure they are touching each other on the sides as well.

      If you have any problems, just email us a photo of the breakage and ask for help. Some of the finer chains can be tricky to repair.

    Do you have any ideas on how to repair the smaller chain to my necklace actually its gold necklace but it came out the lock after I wear to my neck and I dont know how to put it back?

    • @Potomacbeadco
      @Potomacbeadco  5 лет назад

      If you can fit a piece of 24ga wire into the link, you could add a wrapped loop with a gold seed bead then add the clasp. Otherwise, you might have to replace the chain.
      Have a look at item #7 for the idea I'm talking about. Just the one seed bead between your last chain link and the clasp.

    • @Potomacbeadco
      @Potomacbeadco  5 лет назад +5

      You just use the same method with the figure eight links. I once took a broken chain to the jeweller's myself years ago, to ask him to repair it, but he said there was no way he could do it because the links were too tiny. This goes for most fine chains, but being beaders, we are a little more adventurous and willing to adapt to the situation. The repairs are always going to be visible, but with a little creativity, you can make it part of the design. If someone asks about it, you can tell them your chain broke and so you got creative! Hapoy beading!

    • @Potomacbeadco
      @Potomacbeadco  Год назад

      If your chain has big enough links to fit a 24 or 26 gauge wire through it, then you should be able to fix it. If your chain broke in the front or side area of the neck, you can make a link using some cute seed beads or crystals on a piece of 24 or 26 gauge wire and attach it to your chain and secure it doing wired wraps. If it broke toward the back where the clasp is, you can do the same with a plain piece of wire, no need to add beads if its in the back.

    What about when the chain breaks but not at the clasp and is it hard to find 14k gold and sterling silver findings?

    • @Potomacbeadco
      @Potomacbeadco  4 года назад +2

      Many of the finer chains can't be repaired because the links are too complex.

  • @cookiecrisistiara5556
