Designer Tips:

Punch a small hole in the base of the crucifix. Use the two-hole metal punch, as the hand-held hole-punch pliers are not sturdy enough for this task.
Oxidize the crucifix and chatons montees settings with Win-Ox™ Miracle Oxidizer. The crucifix can be wire brushed to create dimension in the finish.
Add medium jump rings to both side of the chatons montees settings. Use small jump rings to attach the chatons montees to both sides of the crucifix.
Cut the chain in half; attach to the chatons montees. Adjust chain length to suit finished bracelet size.
Finish by attaching a tube-style magnetic clasp to the chain with small jump rings, at the same time add the safety chain.
