This bracelet sparkles with fun! Three strands of Swarovski crystals are separated by sterling silver flower spacer beads. All finished with an easy to clasp egg trigger clasp!
Step one: Begin by cutting three strands of ZambaPro 49 .019 jewelry wire to approximately eight inches. Attach one strand to each of the three bottom rings on an antique rhodium-plated pewter 3 to 1 link using 2x2mm crimp tubes. For detailed instructions on how to use a crimp tube please visit the Handy Tips section of the Learning Center. Cover each of the crimp tubes with sterling silver crimp covers.
Step two: When working on a multi-strand piece it is best to work on a flat, non-slip surface like a bead mat. On the outside two wires string two 5mm Swarovski faceted erinite bicones. On the center wire, string three 4mm fire opal bicones. Follow these with a sterling silver 3-hole, stamped flower spacer bead. The pattern thereafter follows the same color patterns, but you will add three erinite and four fire opal beads between each spacer.
Step three: When you have 5 spacer beads, finish the bracelet with two bicones on each strand. Crimp the ends to the other 3 to 1 spacer.
Step four: Attach the egg trigger clasp to one end of the bracelet using a sterling silver oval jump ring. On the other end link more jump rings to make the bracelet the appropriate length for the wearer.
Approximate length: 7 ½ inches Approximate cost: Under $45.00 (does not include Soft Touch)
