Before beginning you need to decide what method of stringing multi-strand pieces is easiest for you. On something like this bracelet, you can either do both strands simultaneously, or string one, and when that is complete, string the second. These instructions are for the two strands at once method, but either way is fine.
Step One: On a 1.25-inch rhodium bead bar link, string one 8mm sterling silver satin bead with April crystals, one 6x9mm sterling silver cylinder bead and one satin bead. Repeat. Set aside.
Step Two: On a bead bar, string one satin bead, one 8mm Stardust 3xS cut bead and one satin bead. Repeat. Set aside.
Step Three: On a bead bar string one 6mm round CZ slider, two 8mm Stardust 3xS cut beads and one slider. Repeat. Set aside.
Step Four: Cut two 10-inch pieces of ZambaPro™ 49 .019 jewelry wire. Crimp one end of each jewelry wire to a .75mm sterling silver open jump ring using a 2x2mm sterling silver crimp tube. For help with crimp tubes, visit the Handy Tips section of the Learning Center. Cover the crimp tube with a sterling silver crimp cover. Using the jump rings, attach the wire strands to the heart piece of the sterling silver filigree heart toggle. For help with jump rings, visit the Handy Tips section of the Learning Center.
