This pretty bracelet features Swarovski crystal pearls in iridescent purple, a rich deep purple tone with a hint of green. The center of the design features two strands of pearls spaced with lovely gold plated beads. On both ends, the design tapers to a single strand and is finished with a magnetic

Instructions

Please note that some crimp beads act as just pretty gold beads in this project. Do not crimp any of the strung crimp beads unless directed to do so.

Begin this project by cutting 2 lengths of beading wire that are 15 inches long each. Line up their ends and place a single bead stopper on both of them, 4 inches from the ends.
Gather both wires together and put them both through 1 crimp bead, 1 4mm pearl, 1 spacer bead, 1 6mm pearl, 1 spacer bead, 1 8mm pearl, 1 spacer bead, 1 6mm pearl, 1 spacer bead, 1 4mm pearl, 1 spacer bead.
Pull the wires apart at this point and start to string them individually. Onto each wire string 1 crimp bead, 1 4mm pearl, 1 spacer bead, 1 4mm pearl. Next take a 6mm bead double strand spacer bar and thread each one of the wires through each of the holes (1 wire per hole).
Onto each of the wires, string on 1 4mm pearl, 1 spacer bead, 1 6mm pearl. Next take a 8mm bead double strand spacer bar and thread each one of the wires through each of the holes (1 wire per hole).
Now string onto each of the wires 1 6mm pearl, 1 spacer bead, 1 8mm pearl, 1 spacer bead.
Add one more 8mm pearl to each strand. This is the exact mid way point of the bracelet. Go back and string the remaining beads starting with the last step in the reverse order so that you end up with a mirror image of the first half of this bracelet.
Separate out your clasp.
Take both your wires and feed them through the loop on one half of the clasp and then go back through the crimp bead. Pull so that you have just a little bit of wiggle room for the clasp. Crimp your crimp bead using the very back notch of the Xuron 4-in-1 crimping pliers. Trim excess wire and place a crimp bead cover over the crimp bead.
Repeat the previous step on the other side of your bracelet to finish the design.
All done! Enjoy!
