Easy

Materials:

  • Round Nose Pliers
  • Wire Cutters
  • Gold Cuff Bracelet (x1)
  • Green Agate Slice (x1)
  • Gold 24 Gauge Wire (x1)
  • E6000® Glue (x1)

Techniques To Know:

  • Wire Wrapping

Instructions:

1. Use E6000® to adhere the accent to the top center of the cuff. Allow the adhesive to dry thoroughly (according to manufacturers instructions) before adding the wire to prevent the agate from sliding on the cuff.

2. Cut a 36” length of gold wire.

3. Tuck one end of the wire between the gemstone and the cuff. Wrap the wire multiple times around the base of the gemstone.

4. Bring the wire up over the stone and down to one side and under the cuff, keeping the wire snug against the cuff. Continue wrapping the wire over the stone and under the cuff.

5. Tuck the end of the wire under the lip of the gemstone but not on the inside of the cuff. Apply additional adhesive to keep the wire in place.

6. Using round nose pliers, gently twist the wire along the top of the gemstone. The slight twisting tightens the wire on the gemstone.

My daughter in law would like this. It's not to my tastes, but I may make it for her. She wears crazy over sized jewelry and sun glasses. On her they look ok but on me they would look like I should be home with a house filled with cats. Thank you for sharing!

Wow this bracelet looks so interesting! It's definitely quirkier than the jewelry I usually wear, but I like it. Who else likes quirky jewelry? )
