Project details:

I used a mix of Burma Jade, Goldstone, Turquoise, and Coconut Shell to create this easy-to-wear bracelet stack. I love this natural/earthy color palette, and the addition of the charms adds another layer of interest.

Supplies you’ll need:

African Brass Rice
Antique Silver Lotus Blossom Bail
Antique Silver Lotus Coin Bead
Gold 24 Gauge Wire
Beading Wire
Burmese Jade Energy Tubes
Czech Glass Antique Silver 3mm Rounds
Czech Glass Lotus Coin
Gold Crimp Tubes/Covers
Gold Headpin

Goldstone 4mm Rounds
Hubei Turquoise Faceted Rondelles
Tiny Thread Tassel
Coconut Shell Rondelles
Gold 1-4 Beaded Bar

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Begin by sliding a 6" piece (or your desired length) of beading wire though the loop of the bar. Secure with a crimp tube & cover. Repeat this step on two more of the loops-leaving one loop empty.

Step 2

Slide the beads on the strands in the order shown in the picture. On the bottom strand I used Hubei Turquoise, Coconut Shell Rondelles, and 8/0 seed beads. In the center I used the lotus bail, with the Hamsa charm attached with a jump ring. The second strand is bead chain made with the Jade energy tubes & African Brass. The third strand has Hubei Turquoise, Coconut Shell Rondelles, and gold 6/0 seed beads. The top strand has Antique Silver Czech Glass, Goldstone 4mm Rounds, and 11/0 seed beads.

Step 3

Using the headpins, make bead charms with the Czech glass lotus coin & the silver lotus bead. Using jump rings, attach the charms, along with a tassel to the end of the bar. Attach a jump ring & lobster clasp to the other end.
