This bracelet is simple and unique. Using our 22k gold-plated beads and Swarovski crystal, you can make a fun bracelet that you won’t ever want to take off!
Step one: Cut a length of Soft Flex 24k gold flex wire to a length of approximately 8 ½ inches. Attach one end of the wire to the square end of the antique gold (pewter) deco square clasp, using a 2x2mm gold crimp tube. For detailed instructions on how to use a crimp tube, please visit the, Handy Tips section of the Learning Center.
Step two: Begin by stringing an antique gold large endless bead, follow that with a gold open square bead. These are also known as bead frames. To use this component you put the crystal in the center of the open square bead and pass the wire through both the crystal and open square bead, esentially creating one combined bead.
Step three: Repeat the pattern, alternating open circle and open square beads with the large endless bead in between. Vary the color of crystals as you go.
Step four: Finish by attaching the bar end of the clasp to the bracelet using another 2x2mm gold crimp tube.
Simple and beautiful, this bracelet will become a favorite for certain.
