Handmade beaded jewelry designs-simple pearl bracelet and ring set
Summary: In just a few minutes, transform lightweight acrylic imitation pearl beads into a chic and stylish bracelet and ring set. You’ll love this one-hour handmade beaded jewelry design!
Pearl jewelry has always been popular throughout sea-based cultures since ancient times. To play with the many moods of summer, I created this handmade beaded jewelry design using cost-effective acrylic pearl beads. I love the collection of soft colors and they are actually easy to put together. The resulting set is a super budget-friendly bracelet and ring set.
Supplies for the bracelet and ring set:
8mm Acrylic Imitation Pearl Bead
3mm Acrylic Imitation Pearl Bead
4mm Electroplate Glass Bead
Brass Interlocking Clasp
Brass Ring Shank
0.5mm Nylon Wire
Flat Nose Plier
Scissors
Details on the handmade beaded jewelry designs:
Part 1: Bracelet Part
Step 1: attach a strand of nylon wire using crimp bead on the clasp;
Step 2: insert onto the wire your first color of pearls;
Step 3: when you reach the desired length, pass and wrap the wire around the last bead one more time to hold the beads in place;
Step 4: add the other pearl bead strands;
Step 5: braid the strands;
Step 6: unfasten the wrapped beads at ends of the stands and attach the wires to the clasp using crimp bead. Exit the wire end 1 or 2 beads away and then remove the excess wire;
Step 7: after finishing all these steps, you will get the twisted pearl bracelet.
Part 2: Ring
Step 1: hold the ring shank and attach a strand of nylon wire on it using a crimp bead;
Step 2: thread one 4mm Electroplate Glass Bead and pass it through the first hole in the 2nd row. Tie a half hitch knot to make the bead stay in place;
Step 3: add on the next 4mm Electroplate Glass Bead in the same way;
Step4: continue but replace the beads with 3mm pearl beads. Add and anchor them as before;
Step 5: add two 4mm Electroplate Glass Beads at the end.
Step 6: pass the wire end though adjacent beads and trim off excess parts.
