Five-Strand Springy Pearl Bracelet


Created by: Mary Morton

These may be faux pearls but this multistrand design is surely not a fashion faux pas.

27-220 10mm faux pearl beads
27-228 8mm faux pearl beads
27-226 6mm faux pearl beads
27-225 5mm faux pearl beads
27-224 4mm faux pearl beads
27-223 3mm faux pearl beads
27-221 2.5mm faux pearl beads
61-597-B Harvest gold memory wire
48-245 5-hole spacer bar
37-097-B Brass head pin with ball end

This five-strand faux-pearl bracelet is strung on stainless steel memory wire, with five-hole spacer bars to tie the strands together. To finish the ends, we looped the memory wire and then strung a brass head pin (with ball end) through the loops, with 2.5mm beads between each loop of memory wire. The final touch was to loop the end of that head pin, then hang a small accent drop from the end loop.

This design would work with almost any type of beads that are available in graduated sizes from 3 to 10mm. 2mm beads are ideal spacers for the end, although 1.5 - 2.5mm beads work nearly as well.

Czech firepolish beads spring to mind as an inexpensive sparkling variation.
The high quality Swarovsk® Crystal Pearl beads with Swarovski crystal bicone beads could be suitable for dressier occasions.
