Asian-Inspired Cloisonné and Crystal Bracelet

Tammy Powley
A cloisonné bead became the inspiration for this Asian-style double strand crystal bracelet, and since the bead is a little on the large side, I decided it need a double strand of crystals to help balance it out.

To create a complete look, consider making the Asian Inspired Coin and Crystal Earrings and Cloisonné and Wire Collar Necklace to go with this bracelet.

To make this bracelet, you will need the following tools and supplies:

* 1 - 34x18mm Flower design turquoise and rust-colored cloisonné
10 - 6mm Bicone-shaped turquoise-colored crystal beads
28 - 6mm Bicone-shaped fire opal-colored Swarovski crystal beads
16 - 3mm Copper daisy spacer beads
2 - 6mm Copper coil beads
16 - Size 11 turquoise colored seed beads
2 - 12 inch Pieces of .015 Gold-colored beading wire
2 Gold-tone bead tips
1 - 8mm Gold-tone toggle clasp
Beading awl or corsage pin
Wire cutters
Chain-nosed pliers

* The cloisonne bead used in this bracelet was part of a bead set from Fire Mountain Gems and Beads, item #H20-8392MB.
