I strung rows of spacers in this multi-strand bracelet for greater impact.
Strands of beautiful beads are braided and swirled around each other to create the look of Twisted Elegance found in this bracelet. Crystal beads make a stunning display, while strands of TierraCast spacers add texture and dimension. You'll love the unique links used to complete the multi-strand style.

Glue a 12mm rivoli in Light Colorado Topaz into the TierraCast gold 12mm twisted rivoli setting 1+3 link and allow to dry.

For a twisted effect, try attaching the strands in this way: Add the Crystal AB and beaded heishi strands to the first loop on the rivoli link, crossing over the black diamond and nugget spacer strands. Connect the Black Diamond and nugget spacer strands to the middle loop on the rivoli link. Connect the cube and Crystal Astral Pink strands to the third loop on the rivoli link.
