New Love Bracelet Instructions Designed by Cynthia Kimura
Glittering SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS hearts and shiny silver links add a refreshing look to this bracelet, which symbolizes new love. If you prefer more color, feel free to substitute the Crystal hearts in the design with colored ones.
Step one: Attach two sterling silver open jump rings (0.75 x 4.60mm) like a chain to the bar piece of the Tierracast® antique silver-plated beaded toggle clasp.
Step two: Create wrapped loop links from the four Swarovski 5742 10mm hearts in Crystal and the Swarovski 5742 14mm heart in Crystal. To do this, cut a piece of sterling silver wire approximately four times the length of the bead. Form a wrapped loop on one end of the wire. String the bead onto the wire and form a wrapped loop on the other end of the wire. Adjust the loops so that they are evenly aligned. For detailed instructions on how to make a wrapped loop, visit the Handy Tips section of the Learning Center.
Step three: Attach links together in the following order using jump rings: a 10mm Crystal heart link, a TierraCast® antique silver radiant heart link, a 10mm Crystal heart link, a radiant heart link, a 14mm Crystal heart link, a radiant heart link, a 10mm Crystal heart link, a radiant heart link and a 10mm Crystal heart link.
Step four: Attach the last jump ring on the bar piece of the clasp to the first 10mm Crystal heart link using a jump ring. Attach the last 10mm Crystal heart link to the loop piece of the clasp using a jump ring.
