faceted tiny gemstone beads Australia tutorial for bracelets

Why We Love This Tutorial:

These are just some super simple bracelets strung on tigertail – the special part? They are using some of our super-sparkly, super-sweet new tiny faceted gemstone beads! There are no real rules with these! We have kept it simple and used occasional gold spacers (4mm wheels and 3mm rounds), and kept the focus on the amazing beads. Oh, and we have used some of the spectacular tarnish resistant 18k fancy toggle clasps, as well. Too cute!

For the remaining findings, we’ve used tarnish resistant 18k gold plated findings to finish these pieces, ensuring longevity and quality.

Beads and Materials You’ll Need (product name is clickable):

Tools You’ll Need:

  • Flat Nose Pliers (for squashing crimps and closing clamshell)
  • Scissors (for cutting tigertail).

Method:

  1. Cut a piece of tigertail to about 25cm. Squash a crimp right on the end, and close your clamshell around it.
  2. Thread on your beads. In most of these designs, we have used a spacer (either 3mm gold round or 4mm wheel) every 3cm.
  3. Finish off the bracelet with a crimp and cover with your side closing clamshell.
  4. Using 4mm jump rings, attach your clasp of choice.
  5. And you’re done!
