Tranquil Wishes Memory Wire Bracelet
Memory wire bracelets are just fantastic. You can use many different beads and just watch them spiral around and around on your wrist. For this one, I used a combination of our Silver Plated Noodles, Olive/Capri Fire Polished Crystals, Montana Sapphire Swarovski Bicone Crystals, Olivine and Midnight Blue Round Pearls and accents of Metallic Silver Pony Beads. This is perfect for everyday and looks amazing with dark denim. Have fun creating and feel free to adjust the beading sequence I used. –Brandi, Customer Service.
