Red, White and Blue Sterling Bracelet Tutorial

Red, White and Blue Sterling Bracelet Tutorial

Created by: Polly Nobbs-LaRue


Designer Tips


  • Center a stone in a setting and gently squeeze prongs in (with your hands or pliers) working from opposite sides to keep the stone centered. Once the prongs are bent in, use the burnishing tool to smooth them firmly into place.
  • Repeat for other 2 stones.
  • Use a jump ring to attach the siam (red) crystal to the bottom rung of the bracelet. See: Jump Ring How-To.
  • Attach the other 2 charms next to the first charm, in the same way.
  • Enjoy the sparkle!
  • If you prefer the price point of a non-sterling version of this bracelet, see link below!
