Gather your materials: 24 gauge silver wire, silver chain, beads, wire cutters, round nose pliers, and chain nose pliers.
Mark your round nose pliers for consistent loop size. Determine the spacing of beads along the chain and cut the chain into segments of equal length.
Start with a 6-inch piece of wire for making coil links. Bend 90 degrees with flat nose pliers, then use round nose pliers to form a loop.
Attach a chain segment to the loop before coiling the wire around 3 times and trimming the excess.
Slide a bead onto the wire, and repeat the loop and coil process, attaching another chain segment to complete the link.
Continue creating bead links and connecting chain segments until the desired length is achieved.
Finish the jewelry piece by attaching a clasp or leaving it as a long necklace without a clasp.
