Learn how to make your own Inca Puño Bracelet at home with this instructional tutorial and a few simple hand tools; no electricity, soldering, or studio required. This two-page PDF jewelry tutorial illustrates step-by-step how to assemble the ancient Inca Puño chain that I first saw being assembled in the highlands of Peru over twenty-five years ago. The unique flexibility and strength of this chain pattern was the initial catalyst for my chain-making curiosity, and I also hope it inspire your jewelry adventure.
Please note that this listing is to purchase the digital PDF download only, and no physical supplies are included. This tutorial is a slight derivative from the project within my first published book: Handcrafting Chain and Bead Jewelry.

Although I am protective of my copyright, I do allow individual artisans my permission to sell the finished jewelry design to clients or through consignment art galleries, all I would ask is that you list ‘Designed by: Scott David Plumlee, Handcrafted by: your name’. However, this permission to sell my original jewelry designs is limited to individual artisans who are handcrafting a limited quantity to support their hobby and does not allow for the bulk selling of machine-made, mass-produced replicas of my original jewelry designs.
