10 motif as bracelet

[ashton]

I recently got a 10 motif but I would like it wear it as a bracelet as well.. wrapping around twice is too long and would slip through but not enough length for wrapping around three times.. not looking to adjust the length permanently as it looks fine as a necklace.

Does anyone wear their 10 motif as a bracelet and has good tips on how to do it and where to get good matching extensions?

Thanks!

It does not work well, unfortunately. I am all for DIY, but any extension stands out like a sore thumb because it is missing the evenly spaced motifs. It really does not blend at all in my opinion. It is a little more successful length-wise with the sweet 16 as a bracelet, but that also does not look good. The chains and motifs become twisted and tangled on the wrist and looks quite messy.

Agree with Nicole, uneven spacing and wrapping more than twice become visual detractors.

I had a 10 shortened to wrap twice as a bracelet. It’s no longer usable as a necklace (for me) but I don’t mind. Keeping the motifs evenly-spaced makes it look “deliberately messy” - more messy than two separate bracelets would be… Which actually is my personal preference, but probably not most people’s!

I initially tried an extender to allow a 3x wrist wrap… It really just doesn’t work. With the 3x wrap I also found that one loop always got tighter than the other two and that becomes very uncomfortable very quickly!

So sad that it doesn’t work. I tried the look tying a piece of string and it looked quite good stationary.

Thanks @Yssie and @nicole0612 for your responses!

You can look around at your local stores or equivalent jewellery district for a similar/chain link and make an extender to use it how you would a necklace extender?
