Watch our technique videos TierraCast Blog (look for Simple Loops and Jump Rings).
Tip: This design could easily be done with craft wire instead of our 22 gauge eye pins, just change the simple loops to wrapped loops for security.
Steps
- String 3 gemstone beads onto 1 eye pin. After last bead fold wire over at right angle and trim tail to about 3/8". Use round nose pliers to form simple loop. Repeat 4 times.
- Pick up 1 beaded link and open loop at one side. Attach to 1 Reina link and close loop. Attach a second beaded link on other side of Reina link.
- Repeat until all elements are connected.
- Open 1 jump ring and attach to clasp loop. Before closing attach to beaded link at one side of bracelet. Close jump ring.
- Open 1 jump ring and attach to Reina link at other end of bracelet. Close jump ring.
- Open final jump ring and attach clasp bar to jump ring placed in Step 5. Close jump ring.
