Instructions
Step 1
Cut one 10-inch length of Accu-Flex® 49-strand 0.014inch diameter Dijon gold professional-quality beading wire.
Step 2
String onto the beading wire: one 2mm sterling silver cut tube crimp and one Accu-Guard™ 14Kt gold-filled 5mm tube wire protector. Pass the beading wire back through the crimp. Pull the beading wire so the crimp rests snug against the Accu-Guard, leaving approximately 1/4 inch of beading wire on the end. Crimp then trim the excess from the short end of the beading wire. Finish with a 3mm 14Kt gold-filled round crimp cover.
Step 3
Thread the following onto the beading wire:
- Ten 3x2mm-4x3mm goshenite faceted saucer beads
- One 2.5mm 12Kt gold-filled faceted round bead
Repeat this pattern 7 times, then thread on ten 3x2mm-4x3mm goshenite faceted saucer beads.
Step 4
Crimp the end of the beading wire as you did in Step 2.
Step 5
Add an 8x3mm14Kt gold-filled lobster-claw clasp to one end of the bracelet using a 4mm 20-gauge 14Kt gold-filled round jump ring.
Add a 4mm 20-gauge 14Kt gold-filled round jump ring to the opposite end of the bracelet.
