This bracelet measures approximately 6.5 inches. To modify the length, simply adjust the number of beads strung respectively.
  1. Begin by cutting of 10 inches of beading wire. Place a bead stopper about 2 inches from one end.
  2. String on the beads in the following order: 3 turquoise, 1 silver, 3 coral, and 1 silver. Repeat this pattern twice more, then finish with 3 turquoise colored beads.
  3. String on one crimp tube. Then thread the wire up and over the wire protector and then back through the crimp tube and pull snug. Crimp the crimp tube. Thread the wire back through a few adjacent beads. Trim any excess wire. Add a crimp cover.
  4. Remove the bead stopper from the beginning side and repeat the above step.
  5. Open one jump ring and attach it to one looped wire protector and to one loop of the crystal bar. Close the jump ring.
  6. Open another jump ring and attach it to the other looped wire protector and to one lobster clasp. Close the jump ring.
  7. Open another jump ring and attach it to the other loop of the crystal bar. Close the jump ring.
  8. To clasp the bracelet, attach the lobster clasp to the jump ring on the crystal bar.
