Stacking effect multi-row bracelet in Topaz dyed Agate and Miyuki beads with Hiilos clasp

First of all, it is important to calculate the size you need for your bracelet.

To do this, measure your wrist (just below the malleolus).

You will simply take this measurement for the realization.

The clasp adds a little more than 1 cm of ease. If you like to wear your bracelets a little loose, you can however add 0,5 cm to your starting measurement.

Example: If your wrist is 15 cm long and you don't like to wear your bracelets too tightly, you will need to make the links 15.5 cm long. Your bracelet will then measure 16.5 cm with the clasp.

• Miyukis weaving link (A)

Weave the pattern following the diagram above with the odd peyote method. You can find the technique on the website of Perles & Co.

A: DB-0674

B : DB-1490

C: DB-1804

D : DB-1832

E : DB-2286

It corresponds to a size 15 cm. It is possible to shorten it by removing rows or to enlarge it if necessary by adding rows of golden beads.

At the end of the weaving, double the last row (preferably use gold beads which are more solid for this kind of use). This will be used to attach the clasp.

To add the filigree stamp, simply place it on the bracelet. The center of the flower must be positioned on the middle of the bracelet at the level of the two golden pearls.

Pass the nylon thread through the beads (as if to block the thread) to the end of the stamp (on the right or left) then pass the thread through the hole in the stamp before passing the thread through the beads again. Do the same on the other side. The stamp is now attached to the weave.

A little tip: silk beads are quite sharp and fragile. To avoid cutting the thread it is important to take your time when weaving and not to force it if the needle blocks to avoid breaking a bead.

• Link with chain gourmette, golden bronze silk thread and filigree stamps (B)

Cut the chain to the desired length with a pair of wire cutters.

Cut the silk thread into two strands of the desired length + 15 cm.
Make a knot to join the two strands, then pass the first strand through one link of the chain and the second strand through the next link. Continue the assembly by alternating the strands. Each strand in a different stitch.

At the end, lock the silk threads by making a knot.

You can glue the knots with Hasulith type jewellery glue to solidify them.

Cut the excess thread

Install the filigree stamps by mounting them on the joining rings. Insert the rings at equal distances on the links of the chain. The middle one coinciding with the middle of the bracelet.

• Assembly of the end caps

For link #1 (which includes A,B):

Put the last row of the miyuki weave through the end cap. If you encounter a little resistance, don't hesitate to spread the end caps a little. Don't force it or you might break a bead.

Put a knot in the link of the curb chain. Spread the end cap a little to let a part of the last link go inside.

Tighten the ends if necessary and close them with a flat clip.

For link #2 (which includes C, D, E, F, G, H)

Pass the double knots of the different links and the last link of the ball chains through the end cap.

Close the end caps.
