Tools and supplies: chain-nose pliers, bent chain-nose pliers, bead reamer (#69-058), Epoxy 330 adhesive (#60-230)
TIPS:
* Use a bead reamer to enlarge the center hole in the filigree so the bead bar will fit snugly.
* Center and glue the coin to the round filigree and allow it to dry.
* Insert the bead bar through the bead cap, orchid crystal, and pices/filigree.
* Insert a jump ring through the bead-bar hole. It should be snug.
* Glue the filigree base to the wooden ring bead and allow it to dry.
* Glue cuff link finding to the back of the wooden ring.
Design Option: This design also makes nice buttons. Just substitute the button shank (#30-660) for the cuff link.
