Waikiki Bracelet Stack
About this design:
I used a mix of freshwater pearls, Czech glass, and seed beads to create this beachy/summer-inspired bracelet stack. I especially love the color combo of these new rainbow freshwater pearls!
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
- Peacock Freshwater Pearl Coin Link
- Nunn Design Gold Organic Tube
- Rainbow Freshwater Potato Pearls
- White Freshwater Potato Pearls
- Midnight Blue Freshwater Potato Pearls
- Czech Glass Aquamarine 4mm English Cut Beads
- Gold 24 Gauge Wire
- Beading Wire
- Crimp Tubes/Covers
- Jump Rings
- Lobster Clasps
- Assorted Seed Beads (see below for the ones I used)

Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Cut your desired length of beading wire. Slide one end through a lobster clasp & secure with a crimp tube/cover. Slide on the rainbow freshwater pearls & the Czech glass gold rounds. Finish by looping the end of the wire through a soldered jump ring and back down through a crimp tube. Clamp down on the crimp tube to secure & cover with a crimp cover. See Tip: Crimping Basics See Tip: Using a Crimp Cover |
|
Step 2: Use the 24 gauge wire to make bead links with the rainbow freshwater pearls, midnight blue freshwater pearls, and the Czech glass aquamarine English cut beads. Continue making links until you've reached your desired length. Attach the links directly to a peacock freshwater pearl link, or use jump rings to attach the links. See Tip: Make a Wire Wrapped Bead Link |
|
Step 3: Cut your desired length of beading wire. Slide one end through a lobster clasp & secure with a crimp tube/cover. Slide on the seed beads in the order shown in the picture. Finish by looping the end of the wire through a soldered jump ring and back down through a crimp tube. Clamp down on the crimp tube to secure & cover with a crimp cover. |
|
Step 4: Cut your desired length of beading wire. Slide one end through a lobster clasp & secure with a crimp tube/cover. Slide on the white freshwater pearls & a gold tube. Finish by looping the end of the wire through a soldered jump ring and back down through a crimp tube. Clamp down on the crimp tube to secure & cover with a crimp cover. |
