Azurite Ovals & Lapis Lazuli Bracelet
Stunning stones don't need a lot of embellishment.
This elegant bracelet is easy to make with a few stones and findings.
If blue and green aren't your style, try any gemstone shapes and rounds
you like! Try mixing them with silver findings too!
Materials used:
5 Azurite Ovals (#11121)
Qty:
6 Lapis Lazuli 4mm (#11014-4)
Qty:
11 Thick Eye Pins (#50593)
Qty:
12 Jump Rings (#50035)
Qty:
1 Lobster Clasp (#50137)

Directions:
Make Azurite components by placing one Azurite
oval on an eye pin. Using flat nose pliers, bend
the eye pin 90 degrees. Cut off the excess pin, leaving 3/16" left.
Using round nose pliers, bend the eye pin into a loop and close tightly,
making 5 components. Do the same thing with each piece of Lapis Lazuli,
making 6 components. Connect the Azurite components to the Lapis
Lazuli components using jump rings, opening the jump ring by twisting to
the side, not pulling it apart. Alternate components. Attach
lobster clasp to bracelet with jump ring. Use a jump ring at the
end for connecting the lobster clasp. These materials create an 8-inch
bracelet. Just add another component for a larger size, or leave
one out for a smaller size. Enjoy!
