More is Better Venetian Bracelet

Introduction and Materials

The Venetian glass beads used in this bracelet design are lined with silver foil. They have a little of a pink hue to them, so this gave me the idea to string them using copper colored beading wire. Add in some Swarovski crystals and you have some major sparkle on your arm. Trust me when I tell you that the picture just doesn't do this justice.

You'll need:

*10 - 8mm silver foil Venetian beads
7 - 6mm AB Swarovski crystal bicones
8 - 4mm Swarovski Dorado bicones
14 - 4mm copper daisy spacer beads
**12 inches of .018 satin copper clored beading wire
2 - gold-filled beads tips
Wire cutter
Flat-nosed pliers
Corsage pin or beading awl
1 10mm gold-filled toggle clasp

*From Gems2Behold, product no. RS-08-25 ** From Beadalon
