A gold bangle with clean, graphic lines, a short row of apatite beads and a faceted charm that sways at your wrist. The vibrant blue of the natural stone brings all the light to this piece, made in just a few minutes.
For a bright, modern gift, made in the stone of your choice. Wear it alone or stacked with other bangles.
Tools needed: flat-nose pliers, round-nose pliers, wire cutters
Don't have your pliers yet? The trio of wire cutters, flat-nose pliers and round-nose pliers will be with you for all your creations.
Add the 3 pink pliers — 17.85 €The same bangle in three other combinations: a faceted oval bead for the charm and small beads for the row. Each button adds the stones and all the findings from the tutorial. Under each version, the intention that lithotherapy traditionally associates with it.
Cut a piece of nylon thread about 15 cm long.
String a crimp bead onto the thread, then pass the thread through the ring of the bangle. Go back through the crimp bead. With the flat-nose pliers, slide the bead up to the ring, then flatten it. Trim the excess thread, leaving about 0.5 cm.
String the beads onto the long thread. Pass the short 0.5 cm end through the first beads to hide it: it won't scratch you.
String a crimp bead, pass through the ring of the hook clasp, then go back through the crimp bead. Thread back through 2 natural stone beads, then pull the thread to bring the crimp bead and clasp snug against the last bead. Flatten the crimp bead and trim the excess thread flush.
Slide the oval bead onto a ball head pin, then form a neat loop with the round-nose pliers.
Open the loop of the pin and attach the charm to the ring of the bangle. Close the loop. Your bracelet is finished.
Before flattening the second crimp bead, lay the closed bangle flat. The row of beads should stay supple, with no visible thread and no tension: if it pulls tight, remove a bead; if the thread shows, add one.
