Mckanti 150 Pieces Mixed-Style Jewelry Making Kit, DIY Charm Bracelet & Necklace Craft Set with Beads, Pendants and Chains Review (2026)

Who this kit fits

This kit suits crafters who want to build both bracelets and necklaces from one box rather than buying separate kits for each. The mix of 60 European-style large-hole beads, 40 assorted charms and 40 bead pendants gives enough raw material to make several pieces in different styles, which appeals to someone who likes variety over a single matched set. Because the kit includes both adjustable chain bracelets and necklace cords, it also works for a beginner who has not decided yet whether they want to focus on bracelets or necklaces first. Crafters who want a tightly coordinated color palette for a single matching set may find the mixed styles here work against that goal, since the pieces lean toward variety rather than a curated single theme.

What is in the box

The 150-piece count breaks down into roughly 60 large-hole colored beads in the European charm-bracelet style, 40 assorted metal charms, and 40 bead-style pendants for larger focal points. Five adjustable chain bracelets and five necklace cords round out the set, giving enough bases to assemble ten separate pieces without buying additional chain or cord. Everything ships in a reusable gift storage box, which doubles as tidy storage once the kit is opened and also makes the set easy to give as a gift. A useful detail is that the bracelet chains use screw-on end caps, so you unscrew the cap, thread your beads and charms onto the chain, then screw the cap back on to secure the design without needing crimping tools.

Assembling pieces and caring for them

The screw-on end cap system is the easiest part of this kit to use, since it lets you rearrange beads and charms on the same chain more than once before you are happy with a design, unlike crimped or glued closures that are harder to redo. Mix large-hole beads with the pendants and charms to create a layered look, and use the necklace cords for lighter pendant-only designs where you want the piece to hang cleaner. Because the chains and charms are plated rather than solid metal, keep finished pieces away from water, lotion and perfume where possible, since plated metal is more prone to discoloring with regular contact than solid sterling silver or gold. Store unused pieces back in the included box to keep beads and small charms from scattering.

How it compares to other charm kits

This kit ranks fourth of eight in the site's charm bracelet kits guide, behind BoJia's kit at 7.9 and a Fantasy Charm kit built for younger crafters at 7.8, but ahead of smaller kits like Acejoz's 85-piece set at 7.6. The kits ranked above this one tend to lean toward a more curated bead and charm selection or a package built specifically with kids in mind, while this Mckanti kit's strength is including both bracelet chains and necklace cords in one box, letting you build more than one type of piece. If a cohesive, pre-matched color story matters most to you, a kit with a narrower theme may serve you better than this mixed-style approach.

Verdict and who should look at a rival

Pick this kit if you want to build both bracelets and necklaces from a single box and like having charms, pendants and beads to mix and match rather than a pre-set matching palette. The screw-on chain closures make it easy for beginners to redo a design without special tools. If you want a more cohesive, pre-coordinated set or a kit built specifically for kids, look at the BoJia or Fantasy Charm kits ranked just above this one in the guide instead. For crafters who value variety and the flexibility to make several different pieces from one purchase, this kit's mix of chains, cords, beads, charms and pendants is a solid, if not top-ranked, choice.
