Aqua Terra Bracelet
There is just something about gemstone beads mixed with vintage brass that I love. I wanted to make a bracelet to match my Vintage Beach Earrings and here is the result. This fun, asymmetrical bracelet is made with our Aqua Terra Jasper puff coins and loads of rich chocolate vintage brass findings including a stunning focal piece that I wired a bead onto. This bracelet measures 7 1/2 inches but can be made shorter or longer by adjusting the number of links in the chain you use.

Tools you will need (change quantity to 1 if you need them): 
Flat Chain Nose Pliers (#51016) Qty:   
Round Nose Pliers (#51017) Qty:   
Side Cutters (#51018) Qty: 

Directions:
Step 1. Cut 3 sections of Chain, each containing 7 links. Set aside.

Step 2. Onto each of 4 Eye Pins, place a Gemstone.

Step 3. Using a Side Cutter cut off the excess of each Eye Pin leaving approximately 3/16". For each Eye Pin, using Flat Nose Pliers, bend the 3/16" piece of wire 90°. Using Round Nose Pliers, bend the 3/16" piece of wire from each Eye Pin into a loop and close tightly. Set aside.

Step 4. Cut a piece of Artistic Wire, approximately 3 inches long. String the wire through a Gemstone and around the center of the Vintage Flower Connector (see photo for positioning). Trim the excess Wire and tuck the ends up against the Gemstone, so that it will not scratch against your skin when the bracelet is worn.

Step 5. Twist open a 6mm Jump Ring and insert the loop from one end of the Vintage Flower Connector and the loop from one of your finished Eye Pins. Twist the Jump Ring closed.

Step 6. Twist open a 6mm Jump Ring and insert the loop at the opposite end of the Eye Pin that you just attached and a loop from another finished Eye Pin. Twist the Jump Ring closed.
Step 7. Repeat Step 6 twice.

Step 8. Twist open a 6mm Jump Ring and insert the loop from the opposite end of your last, attached, finished Eye Pin and the links at the end of each of your 3 pieces of cut Chain.

Step 9. Twist open an 8mm Jump Ring and insert the end links on the opposite side of the 3 sections of Chain. Twist the Jump Ring closed.

Step 10. Twist open a 6mm Jump Ring and insert the loop of a Lobster Clasp and the second (open) loop of your Vintage Flower Connector. Twist the Jump Ring closed.
