Exotic Emerald Indonesian Style Bracelet With Earrings

Materials needed
14 x 6mm Crystal Bicones
12 Assorted metal beads in a Bali or Indian style
2 Matching metal beads as used in
the bracelet design
Stretch elastic
Seed beads size 8
Ear-wires
Headpins

Tips
Beads can be repeated, but for an eclectic look make sure you feature one odd bead in the bracelet. There are many cultures where patterns are designed not to be perfect as perfection is considered to be a trait that only belongs to God.

Step One
Take metal beads and thread in an irregular fashion on stretch elastic, using a 6mm crystal in
a deep and dark color in between each metal bead.

Step Two
Make a surgeon’s knot as shown below, pull the ends tight and cut the excess elastic.

Step Three
Take a headpin and thread on a small seed bead. Follow with a decorative tube to match the stretch bracelet. Follow with another seed bead, a 6mm bicone crystal topped with another seed bead. Cut the headpin leaving a 1cm (inch) of wire and bend into a loop using round nose pliers. Attach ear wire and repeat.
