This 36 inch bracelet, strung on memory wire, is made with mother of pearl beads, Swarovski round and AB crystal bicone beads and Swarovski fireballs.
A friend’s deeply cut in halter top wedding gown inspired me to make this. She wrapped it around her upper arm.
The ends of the memory wire can be finished by gluing on an end bead (half drilled) or making a loop or coil with your round nose pliers by grabbing the end of the wire and twisting. Consider what you are making–an end bead would be best for a toe ring but either might work for a bracelet.
With large beads, a memory wire bracelet should be long enough to loop around the wrist at least 3 times.
One last tip, the end of the memory wire will stretch a bit if it is manipulated a lot. Start with an extra few inches of wire so you are able to cut some off if necessary.
