Mixed Metal 3+3 Satellite
Anklet, bracelet, necklace, ring, belly chain… there truly is no wrong answer with this mixed metal beauty. You’ll need to use a 26g jump ring, or gently stretch a link to accomodate 24g.

Personal support
Your Mentor Helps Keep the Spark Alive.
Most beginners do not stop because they are incapable of learning permanent jewelry. They stop because they run into a problem, lose confidence and do not know who to ask.
With the Dream Kit, you have someone in your corner for setup confidence, weld support, progress reviews, launch preparation and momentum.
“Can you confirm my setup and look at my first practice weld?”
That is exactly the kind of moment your mentor is there for.
