TThis honey of a bracelet is unusual in the placement of the handpainted onyx
focal bead. It’s more customary to place the focal bead in the center of the
bracelet, instead of buddied up to the clasp. Here’s why my arrangement works:
Had I centered the focal bead, it would have been overshadowed by the bulk
of the box clasp. However, when it’s placed next to the clasp, the two work
together as one consolidated focal area.
All Abuzzconcentrate your focal e lements
1: Use the wire to string 1 crimp tube and the loop of one half of the clasp. Pass back through the tube and crimp; trim excess wire.
2: String the onyx bead and silver round. String {1 moonstone and 1 CZ} five times. String 1 moonstone, 1 crimp tube, and the loop of the other half of the clasp. Pass back through the tube and crimp (figure 1); trim excess wire.
3: Cover the crimp tubes with crimp covers.
4: Use the jump ring to attach the bee charm to one loop of the clasp (figure 2).
