For this design I combined a variety of beads to create a subtle pink and cream color palette. The crystals add just the right amount of shimmer.
Crystal and Czech glass beads in delicate colors make a sophisticated statement in this multi-strand memory wire bracelet. You can combine your favorite beads on memory wire for a quick and simple design that is sure to stand out. You can see more inspiration for creating memory wire jewelry in this Artbeads Cafe episode.

Add a clutch to the end of the wire to keep the beads in place.
Make sure the beads on your strands are on evenly and snug. To trim the wires, place the memory wire cutters up against the clutch on one end of your strand and cut. This will give you the right amount of wire to form a loop. Remove the clutches and use your memory wire pliers to form a loop. Repeat on the other end of the wire. Repeat this step for all three strands.
String a 6mm faceted round in Crystal Antique Pink onto a gold-filled 1.5-inch head pin. Then, add the loop of your first memory wire strand to the head pin. Add an 8mm faceted round to the head pin, and then the loop of your second memory wire strand. Add an 8mm faceted round and then the loop of the third memory wire strand. Add a 6mm Crystal Antique Pink round to the head pin and finish with a simple loop. Repeat for the other end of the bracelet.
Secure the strands of the bracelet together using 24 gauge Gold Artbeads Designer Wire. Follow these instructions for wrapping the wire:
Wrap the wire twice around the end of the top strand, then go through the first two beads on the strand
Wrap once around the wire between the beads, then go across to the second strand
Wrap once around the wire between the beads and go across to the third strand
Wrap once around the wire and go through the next five beads on the strand
Wrap around the wire between the beads once and go across to the second strand
