4th, pass through one 8mm pink jade bead as did in 2nd process;

5th, repeat the processes 3rd and 4th for a desired length for your cuff bracelet.

Step 3: Bead the second strand with blue jade beads

1st, take one of the rest two wires, thread through the six seed beads added firstly;

2nd, on the other end string two 3mm iris seed beads, two 3mm clear seed beads and two 3mm iris seed beads;

3rd, cross through one 8mm blue jade bead;

4th, on the inner wire end string one 3mm iris seed bead, share the two 3mm clear seed bead on 1st strand and string one 3mm iris seed bead. On the other wire string one 3mm iris seed bead, two 3mm clear seed beads and one 3mm iris seed bead;

5th, cross two ends through one 8mm blue jade beads;



6th, repeat the processes 4th and 5th to reach a same length of 1st strand.

Step 4: Add the final 10mm jade bead as closure

1st, divide the four wire ends into 3 parts like 1, 2 and 1;

2nd, string two 3mm iris seed beads, two 3mm clear seed beads and two 3mm iris seed beads per branch;

3rd, slide the 10mm jade bead and one 3mm clear seed bead;

4th, pull the wires snugly and thread the wires back through the 10mm jade bead;
