Project details:

I really liked the look of several types of gemstone nuggets mixed together, so I decided to create a funky mix of layered bracelets. I used some of the same components throughout each bracelet to create a cohesive design. This bracelet looks complicated but its easy as can be!

↓ Step-by-step

↓ Buy the supplies

Supplies you’ll need:

You will need: * 4 types of Gemstone Nuggets * 1 Strand of Czech Glass Bali Daisy Spacer Beads in Gold * 1 Strand of Czech Glass Seafoam 3x5mm Rondelles * 2 Greek Gold Barrel * Faceted Gold Beads 3mm * 1 Champagne Luster Druzy Slice * Stardust Gold Beads 6mm * Pink Opal Chips Stretch Bracelet (It's cheaper than buying a strand:) * 1' each of 4 different styles of Satin Hamilton Gold Chain * Jump rings * Clasp * Gold Wire 20 gauge

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Cut enough wire to fit around your wrist. String on the beads in the order shown.

Step 2

Take your wire and feed it through the chain end. Use your round nose pliers to create a loop and wrap the excess tightly around the loop. Trim off any excess wire. Do the same to the other side. Trim your chain to the desired length. The tutorial below will show you how to create the loop if you need more more info.

Step 3

Do Steps 1-2 for all other layers. Then use the larger jump ring to attach your chain ends to on both sides. Attach your clasp to one of the jump rings.
