A genuine alternative to gold, Gold Filled enables you to create costume jewelry with a finish similar to that of gold jewelry, at a lower cost. Much more resistant than conventional gold plating, a gold filled product will oxidize much less quickly.

Start weaving with the row indicated by the black arrow on the diagram. Bring this row up to ladder stitch.
Brickstitch the top of the pattern, with the needle emerging through bead A.
Now it's time to attach a hexagon spacer. To do this, start by working your way around the hexagon, then passing your thread over the top of bead A.
Next, thread your needle through the bottom of the bead next to it.
Bring your thread through the top of the bead.
Take the hexagon in your thread, and pull the thread out through this same bead. Repeat for all the gold beads in this row.
Pass your thread through the beads, and out through bead B.
Continue weaving the bottom of the pattern, with the thread emerging through the C bead. Now hang a hexagon (as explained above).
Tuck the threads through a few beads.
Weave a 2nd identical pattern. At the top (bead A), hook the weave to the bottom hexagon of the 1st weave.
Weave the bottom of the 2nd pattern, and attach a new hexagon. Tuck in the threads.
Cut two pieces of chain, each about 4 cm long (depending on your wrist). Attach a clasp to one end of one piece.
On the other piece, attach a 5 mm closed ring, using a 3 mm open ring. Then attach the free ends of the chain to the gold hexagons, using 3mm rings.
