Beaded Memory Wire Bracelet and Earrings

I admit, I can’t have enough beaded bracelets.  They’re easy to slip on when I need to look put together outside the studio during the day, and transition well to more formal occasions as well. Since it usually wraps around the wrist several times, a memory wire bracelet can also give you the trendy stacked bracelet look without needing to have a whole jewelry box full of individual bangles.

I made this beaded bracelet and earrings set for a fundraiser, and I’m thrilled with the way it turned out.  I chose faceted glass beads, Czech beads, and shiny silver findings to give as much brightness and sparkle as possible.

For the bracelet, you will need memory wire (large bracelet size for adults), wire cutters, needlenose jewelry pliers, and your choice of beads.  You’ll also need earring findings and eye pins or head pins if you’d like to make matching earrings.

Make memory wire bracelets in a variety of different metals and bead styles to match the clothes you wear most, and you’ll always be able to accessorize your favorite outfits quickly.  I love bringing them on vacation, since I can pack one bracelet to match several outfits.  Convenient and stylish!

Thanks for stopping by!
