These pretty beetle spacers will give an exotic and mysterious style to your bracelets. They are available in several types of gemstones. Here we have chosen to focus on Malachite and Aventurine. The scarab bead malachite bracelet is accompanied by aventurine and malachite heishis beads. Heishis beads are round beads.
Gemstone beads are very heavy. That's why we used wired wire for this tutorial. Simple fishing wire will probably not be enough. Stranded wire is a wire made of metal wires braided together and covered with a plastic sheath to protect them. They are very resistant.
To dress up your bracelet and give it more volume, you can add charms of all kinds. There are round, diamond and square charms. It's your choice!
Cut 35 cm of wire and thread a crush bead. Thread the wire through a wire guard and the clasp. Go back through the squeeze bead, pull the wire out by 3 cm and flatten the squeeze bead with a pair of flat tongs. You can also put a pearl cover to crush. Check beforehand that the wire is well fixed by pulling on it.
Place your charms on open rings. Use 2 clips to open and close them.
String your beads and charms through the rings. Thread the end of the wire twice through the beads. Depending on the size of your wrist, you will probably need to string more beads. You have more than enough beads with the basket at the bottom of the page.
Do the same finish as the other side to connect the second piece of wire to the clasp. Make sure the wire is secure. Thread the wire through the last beads and cut off the excess.
