When considering creating your own jewelry pieces, it's essential to assess the materials required. For instance, to craft three pairs of earrings consisting of a stack of six O-rings each, you will need three small O-rings and six ear wires. If you opt to make three necklaces with 36 O-rings each, you will need 108 larger O-rings. It is advisable to choose all black components or select color-coordinated sets. In addition, consider acquiring separator beads (round beads placed between groups of O-rings). Ensure you have ample plumber's chain for the three necklaces. To create a choker, plan for a length of 12 to 15 inches based on your preference. For longer necklaces, measure the length of a necklace you admire and triple that measurement. Also, procure three plumber's chain connectors to serve as closures for the necklaces (and wristbands if needed).

To obtain the necessary materials such as O-rings, plumber's chain, connectors, needle nose pliers, and wire cutters, visit a reputable hardware store. For items like ear wires, beads, wire cutters, and compartment boxes, consider exploring jewelry supplies stores, bead shops, or craft stores. Seek out a storage box that can accommodate all tools and supplies, with specific compartments for beads and O-rings and larger spaces for wire cutters and chain to maintain your equipment organized.

Prepare your workspace by placing a tray on a table or counter; the elevated edges help prevent beads and supplies from falling onto the floor during your crafting process. Organize your O-rings by size and color within a compartment box or egg carton.

To begin assembling your jewelry pieces, measure an appropriate length of plumber's chain for a necklace or O-ring choker and cut it using wire cutters in preparation for attachment. Thread the O-rings onto the plumber's chain, considering grouping black rings in sets of six interspersed with large silver beads between each group. Add washers at each end to secure the O-rings in place and use connectors at both ends for necklace closures.

For coordinating earrings, prepare two lengths of plumber's chain for each pair. Cut them according to the desired style; for instance, opt for 2 inches per dangle earring. Attach connectors on one end of each chain length; then thread beads and O-rings in an appealing pattern using washers to secure them. Finish off with connectors and attach them to ear wires using needle nose pliers for a polished look.
