This adorable bracelet was part of a set for Maggie’s wedding. We love it so much; we think it should be worn for everyday fun! For matching necklace, please click here. For earrings, click here.
Step one: Cut a length of Soft Flex jewelry wire to approximately 10 inches. Crimp one end of the wire to a sterling silver open jump ring using a 2x2mm crimp tube. For instructions on how to crimp, please visit the Handy Tips section of the Learning Center.
Step two: String a 6mm Swarovski faceted bicone in sun followed by a 8mm faceted oval cherry quartz, a 10mm flat diamond pink shell bead and a Hill Tribe silver brushed disc bead. You will then add a 10mm shell bead, cherry quartz, Swarovski sun bicone, another cherry quartz, shell bead and Hill Tribe silver brushed disc. Repeat the last segment again and finish with a flat shell bead, cherry quartz and Swarovski bicone. Add an open jump ring to the dolphin clasp to help the bracelet move a bit more freely. Crimp the remaining wire to that jump ring and trim the excess wire.
Approximate length: 7 ½ inches
Approximate cost: Under $40.00 (does not include stringing materials)
TIP: To save money, use the leftover beads from the strands to make the matching Chloe’s Clamshell Necklace.
