Using the smaller size memory silver memory wire you will need to place around your wrist to get the correct circumference. You will need to allow about 1.5 inches overlap, then cut the wire using memory wire cutters. You will need to use this to cut 4 more wires the exact size. Use your round nose pliers to make a small loop at one end of each of the 5 wires to allow a stop for the beads. Place 13 white pearls onto each wire. Place 1 jet faceted round on each wire. Slide the wires through the first silver spacer, making sure that the outside design is facing out. Place 1 jet faceted round then 8 white pearls, then 1 jet round on each wire. Slide on next spacer then repeat pattern. Slide on last spacer, 1 jet round then 13 white pearls. You will need to make sure that the pearls are pushed tight then using your memory wire cutters cut one wire leaving about 3/8 inch tail. Using your round nose pliers make a small loop. Repeat this procedure on each wire, completing one wire at a time. If the loop is a little too large gently use pliers to tighten the loop. To close the end of the bracelet take an eye pin and insert into the outer loop, place a pearl, insert through next loop and place a pearl. Repeat until you have gone through each loop. Once you have come through the outside loop clip the end leaving enough space to make a small loop to hold the pin in place. Using chain nose pliers gently bend the loop to lay against the memory wire near the last pearl on the bracelet. Repeat on other side. Gently open the loop on the end pin and slip around the memory wire and close. Repeat on other side. Ready to wear! The amount of beading used on this bracelet creates a bracelet about 7.5 inches around.

What are you most proud of?
I love creating my own jewelry. When I am sitting there creating each piece the stress of the day just slides away. I enjoy making pieces for friends as gifts and seeing them wear them later. It is a gift to me to see them enjoy it too!
