Thanks Liz, I love this twisted chevron design. It looks so complicated, and the foundation is a little tricky, but after that it’s almost meditative. I can see so many options for bracelets and necklaces. Thank you again for such clear instruction.

I'm just a beginner, but the necklace looked so beautiful, I wanted to see how it's made. The attachment of the clasp and jump rings was actually helpful to me at my early stage, and the answer to why two sets of pliers was helpful too.
