This bracelet was the result of playing around with a variation of crystal beads, namely, Swarovski crystal top-drilled bicone beads.

What’s fun about this is that stringing is very simple, the beads do all the work for you and they nest together in an interesting way.

Like I mention in the video, this bracelet has some thickness to it, so you’ll need to make it longer than your usual bracelet length.

If you don’t want to bother assembling all the beads and findings yourself, I’ve put them together in a nice kit for you in my Etsy shop.

Swarovski Crystal Bracelet Kit-Shades of Rose, Pink, Lavender, Cyclamen & Mocha Brown with Sterling Silver Findings

The beads are all genuine Swarovski crystal and the finding are all sterling silver/silver plated. And shipping is free to anywhere.  🙂

Happy Creating!
