GOLDEN CHARM


If Marlyn Monroe sang about how diamond are woman best friend, well i want to introduce who is women favorite "partner in crime", yes, its golden. Everything seems so right in golden, something stronger, something massive, something brilliant, we always put "golden" after it. We don't called those super great bridge with iron bridge or metal bridge, we called it golden gate bridge. We don't called our ultimate plan as silver rule, but we always made a golden rule to set our ultimate goal.

So in any way, golden is one of my favorite color because those color from very great metal on earth. It shows the joy, journey, and it always makes me feel happy to see some gold (hell yeah, i don't know why i keep quoting from a "pimp") and so here i am, made one of this golden (looks like) bracelet, from used chain (it almost rust and smell like a bad iron) and little help from golden phylox.


STEP 1>>PREPARE
  • PYLOX. You can buy this in any store, especially equipment or building store. It costs Rp 25.000 / can.
  • Pliers.
  • Used chain. I personally using my old necklace chain, because it become rusty and my old necklace looks... so... old. 
  • Ring.
  • Charm or emblem. I use the leaf shape of charm. i bough those from Toko Maju Mayestik. It costs Rp 2.000/each.
STEP 2>> SPRAY IT GOLD
  • First clean up your rusty chain and the dry it with dry cloth and after that prepare the chain to get "gold-blocked" with  pylox.
  • Spray it very carefully and don't hesitate to do it two or three times to makes your golden chain really gold.
  • And dry it outside, it needs like one until two hours i think. 
  • When it is done, i dip the chain in to water. I don't know, i just feel like it. Just to make sure the color is really there, and won't go anywhere.
STEP 3>> RING IT AND HANG IT
  • After your golden (and new) chain is already dry, now its time to put a big ring in the middle of it. Because i want my bracelet have double chain and it needs big ring.
  • After we done with one ring, we should measure our own hand, how long the chain we will need. If we got the length, cut the chain with pliers and put another big ring to stick those two golden chain.
  • Don't forget to put the hook too.
  • After we get the golden chain bracelet, we should hang some charm to in bracelet and make it more desirable.
  • There is no rule how or where to put the charm, so do it like as you like it.
And here they are so pretty and witty golden bracelet in my hands. So glad i figure it out how to fix my old necklace problem and turn those to these pretty accessories. Now it's time for you to try too.
