Moving Forward Wrapped Bracelet Tutorial

Created by: Amy Mickelson

Designer Tips

Choose a color of hand dyed silk ribbon to go with your choice of 4mm Swarovski bicones and rivoli stones.
Use 2-part epoxy to glue the rivoli stone into a rivoli setting. Set this aside to cure.
Create 2 wrapped loop bicone dangles. Make an additional dangle finishing the wrapped loop directly onto one of the loops of the rivoli setting. (See Jewelry Basics 101 link below.)

Use a jump ring to connect the other dangles to the same loop on the rivoli setting.
Use jump rings to attach the charms and rivoli to the 12mm large-hole spacer.I used some olive color jump rings left over from a chain maille project, but you can use any 6mm or larger jump ring of your chosing.
Slide and center the large-hole twist spacer (with charms) onto the hand dyed silk ribbon and secure with an overhand knot.
Wear this piece as a wrapped bracelet or necklace.
