We see body chains in various variations on stars such as Rihanna, Beyonce, Rita Ora and others who like to provoke with their unusual looks. Above all, this type of body jewelry is associated with summer and bikini, generally when you show a little more skin. This summer trend can also be incorporated into our everyday lives in a very stylish way and is very comfortable on clothing, making it suitable for everyday use, even in the office. So that the body chain corresponds exactly to your individual style and taste, you can make this summer jewelry yourself and design it yourself.
Have you thought that a bodyschmucklooks just as good on clothes as it does on the skin? The body chain presented in this way breaks stereotypes and suggests sophisticated taste. She particularly likes clothing with a pronounced feminine character - made of fine, flowing fabric or with a beautifully tailored cut.
Body chains with accents, such as pearls orTrailer, completely replaced the need for other jewelry. They draw attention to the waist and décolleté and in everyday life, especially in the office, you shouldn't exaggerate them. Almost every model can be turned around and showcased to the beautiful back.
The body chain basically consists of several chains that reach from the neck over the décolleté to the waist, cross each other at the back and are tied there. However, you can easily make one yourself. Just get a little more metal look chain according to your preference. The exact length depends on how many strands you want and of course your height. It's better to use more than less - you should get at least 3 meters for a DIY body chain.
Other useful accessories and materials include jewelry pliers, connecting rings or eyelets, as well as beads and pendants with which you would like to decorate your body chain. Choose all parts with the same metal look so that the end result is right. Also take a simple yarn that you could use to model the design of the necklace.
Now take the yarn and try to recreate what your body chain should look like later. Think about where the connections will take place and where the fastener will be - perhaps on the neck or on the back. You are welcome to use cords in different colors to help you remember the course more precisely. Measure your body straight away to get a better idea of how the real body chain would suit you.
If you have already created the preliminary model, you can start planning the real one. In our example, a chain is tied around the neck and the clasp is there. Then it runs down and is tied at the waist with two more chains on each side (2 left, 2 right). So we have a chain for the neck, one in the middle and 4 more of the same length.
All chains are connected to each other using connecting rings. Usually the connection point is where most of the chains are attached, around the belly button. If you want to wear the body chain backwards, it will fall on the cross. Pendants and beads can be inserted there.
How you like to wear your self-designed body chain is up to you. Depending on your mood and outfit, you can emphasize the beautiful neckline of your blouse or dress. On other days, on the other hand – present your back in a sophisticated way. This way you can upgrade your basic wardrobe.
Simple outfits need accessories so as not to appear impersonal or boring. Body chains serve as two in one - jewelry and an accessory at the same time, but don't overdo it. It should complement the look and not become the focal point of the entire ensemble.
Other models of body chains work the same way, but look a little different. There is a decorative element at the center of the piece of jewelry, which perhaps determines the front. Basically, two chain straps hang around the shoulder, reach the hips and close at the neck.
For this model body chain, in addition to a sufficient length of chain, jewelry pliers and lobster clasp, you will also need pearl tubes or seed beads and eye pins. You are welcome to use beads in different colors.
Thread the beads onto the eye pins and use the pliers to bend the wire so that the two ends are equal. In our example, these are arranged on the side according to the color and tied to the chain. Loosely fix the chain pins with the beads to the chain using connecting rings. Make sure that the decoration hangs equally on both sides of the so-called straps.
The piece of jewelry created will definitely be noticed and looks great on simple T-shirts or tops. Make yourself a body chain that goes perfectly with your everyday outfit and office look. Combine with some bracelets in the same style and perhaps with some subtle stud earrings. You can find more inspiration for summer outfits with body chains in ourArticleon the subject.
