You can find the basic information about working with chain, jump or split rings, and jeweler's tools in a jewelry-making book or online forum. Step-by-step instructions for making a charm bracelet would cover most of the concepts. The techniques themselves are easy--the tricky part is finding focal components, if you are dreaming of styles like Kuchi belts or Cost Less mirrored sets. If you just want coins on chain or coins sewn directly to fabric, that is not difficult.

cool, thank you... i guess the hard part is getting going and the focal components... i like the gypsy tribal style.. they are cool.. specially with chains, coins, mirrors etc..
