Bracelet with large round transparent and striated pearls

Cut 30 cm of wire. Thread a crush bead. Thread the wire through the wire guard. Pass the wire guard through the clasp ring. Pass the wire back through the crush bead and allow the wire end to protrude by 2 or 3 cm. Flatten the bead with crush pliers, then fold the bead in half. Check that everything is secure by pulling on the wire.

If you don't want to use crush pliers and prefer to use flat pliers, then you can buy crush bead covers to hide the crushed bead. In our example, the bead folded in half is hidden in the transparent bead, but if it's simply flattened and not folded in half, it won't fit through the hole.

Thread the following beads: 3 transparent 10 mm beads, 1 washer, 1 ribbed bead, 1 washer, 1 transparent bead, 1 washer, 1 ribbed bead, 1 washer, 1 ribbed bead, 1 washer, 1 ribbed bead, 1 washer, 1 transparent bead, 1 washer, 1 ribbed bead, 1 washer, 3 transparent beads. Then test on your wrist. If the bracelet is too small, add transparent beads to each side.

Thread a crush bead. Thread the wire through the wire guard. Pass the wire guard through the small ring on the clasp. Pass the wire back through the bead to be crushed. Slide the wire through the beads over a few centimetres. Flatten the bead with crush pliers, then fold the bead in half. Check that everything is secure by pulling on the clasp. Trim excess wire.

Add the heart pendant with a connecting ring. To open the ring, use flat-nose pliers and round-nose pliers to grasp the two ends of the ring, then rotate them. Do not pull the ring apart, as this will deform it. Once the ring has passed through the pendant and the clasp, close it by rotating the two ends in the opposite direction.
