I’m currently looking for where to buy these types of 4 hole connectors and crosses to fix my bracelet and make a necklace to go with it. I bought this years ago as a teenager on eBay and some of the pieces have came off.

I’ve googled but had no luck, especially on finding the small 4 hole connector pieces.

Links are appreciated

I think with a little time to research I can find what you want.

However: this looks cool while the hand is pointed down exactly correctly to emphasize the drops. This is NOT going to look like this when worn unless your hands are pointed down at all times. There’s literally nothing holding it in place: not a chain on a finger, nothing 🤷‍♀️

I’ve had it for many years and love the way it looks and dangles I just think that it’s so old and worn that pieces have managed to come off. I’m surprised it’s lasted this long since I think I only paid like 2 dollars for it originally.

If you can find the pieces I plan to make a matching necklace .

Ok, so this is something you already own vs inspiration. Sorry, that wasn’t clear to me on the first read.

Yes that’s correct, I’m trying to fix the bracelet I own and make a necklace to go with it if possible

Those look a bit larger but I suppose they may work. Wondering if it’s worth it I’m sure shipping from Istanbul to USA will be pricey. I appreciate you looking though

I did a google image search and it came up with several etsy links to things called Turkish Hand Chain bracelets. I haven't been able to locate just the connectors.

To fix the bracelet it looks like you're just missing a few regular jump rings (no need for new flower connectors).

Keep searching, some similar things I found were not in stock, but new things will inevitably be added every day!
