How to Attach Dangles to a Chainmail Bracelet
Chainmail is a series of interlocking metal rings used in making armor and period costumes, such as those for medieval and renaissance fairs. The gaps between the rings in a chainmail bracelet offer an easy way to hang dangling charms from the jewelry. Because this will be on your wrist, select delicate dangling charms that won't impede the use of your hand or annoy you during the day.

Use the needle-nosed pliers to pry open the first jump ring. Slip the open end of the ring through the hoop at the top of the first dangle charm.

Use the pliers to clamp the jump ring closed.
