Bracelet Materials (for a 6 3/4 - 7 inch bracelet)
Approx 5 Yards of Bead Thread of Choice
5 8mm Round Beads

30 SuperDuo Beads
20-24 4mm Bicone Crystals
3 Grams 11/0 Seed Beads
Clasp of Choice
The bracelet is made by combining motifs, to date there isn't a published earrings pattern, but it is very easy to make two extra motifs for matching earrings. For the top of the earrings, use the instructions for attaching the clasp, only attach a jump ring with an ear wire attached instead of a clasp. For the bottom of the earrings, use the instructions for adding a clasp but add one seed bead, one briolette and one seed bead to attach the drop bead.
Below are the components used in this design example. If you would like to make this version yourself, you will need to calculate the quantities of each item to purchase, depending on the length of bracelet you wish to make, etc.
