Memory Wire Wrap Bracelets with Swarovski Fine Rocks Beads

Mix up shiny Swarovski crystals and natural gemstone beads in an easy memory wrap bracelet.

 

Mixing up different types beads makes for a modern and even edgy DIY jewelry, especially when you use Swarovski Fine Rocks Tube beads and round Dakota Stones gemstone beads. And to bring even a more edgy look, we’ve added some beautiful Star Cut Crystal Quartz gemstone.

 

What you’ll need for project:

• 6mm Round Gemstones
• 6mm Crystal Quartz Star Cut Beads
• 30mm Swarovski Fine Rocks Tube Crystal Bead
• 7mm Nugget Spacer (TC00034)
• Extra Heavy Duty Round Bracelet Memory Wire (Silver/Gold/Rose Gold)
  OR Heavy Duty Memory Wire (Silver/Gold)
• Tools: Memory Wire Shears and Memory Wire Finishing Pliers

 

Minimal Fine Rocks Bracelet

Items used in bracelet: SW01736 & WR00131

Nothing like a simplistic DIY jewelry! Here, we used Extra Heavy Duty Memory Wire, cut a 1.25 coil and slide on the Fine Rocks Tube. The trick to getting the crystal tube curve is to gently curve the tube while sliding it on the memory wire. Center the tube and make a loop to both memory wire ends with the Memory Wire Finishing Pliers. The thick memory wire gives a hearty substance to a minimalistic design, without covering the whole wire!
