3. Cut the suede cording in half. Thread one strand through the jump ring at the top right of the Waves pendant, pulling the pendant to the center of the cord. Bring the two ends together. Pass the two ends through the ceramic washer, folding them over about ½”. Cut the Twisted wire, into 4 pieces, each at 3 inches long. Using one piece of wire, hold the end on top of the tail of the cording that is now through the ceramic washer. Grasping the wire and suede with your left hand, wrap the wire tightly around the suede at the base of the washer, using your right hand. Wrap the wire down and around the tail of wire that you are holding. Tuck the end in with chain nose pliers. Trim the excess tail of wire with Flush cutters. 4. Using the same wire wrapping technique in step 3, wrap a piece wire around the suede just above the jump ring at the top right of the pendant. Tuck the end, and trim any excess. 5. Using the second piece of cording, thread one end through the jump ring on the toggle ring. Pull it the center of the suede cord. Pass the two ends through the ceramic washer. Using the same wire wrapping technique as in step 3, wire wrap the the suede with 1 piece of wire at the base of the washer, and around the suede by the toggle ring.

“Lively. Radiant. Lush… A color of elegance and b eauty that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony.” - Pantone
It’s the Pantone’s color of the year! Try adding emerald green crystals or stones to peacock focal beads if you are a little afraid of the jewel tone. By combining it with teal and warmer greens you’ll be able to pull off this trend with very little effort! Or mix emerald green with focal beads in muted stone-inspired colors. Think rich patina and zen gardens when creating pieces with emerald color gemstones. Not sure what to mix with green? Go to the source! Mother Nature offers some beautiful inspiration and color palettes featuring emerald. Search for emerald on Pinterest.com or Flickr.com for more amazing examples.

1. Cut an 10 inch piece of 7ply teal waxed linen cord and tie it onto a 10mm jump ring, leaving a 2.5 inch tail of cord. Slide 2 czech glass rondelles on and knot, leaving the beads to move freely on a 1 inch tail. Trim just below the knot. Make a few wire wrapped Czech flower dangles to attach to the jump ring. Slide on a series of mixed media art beads in a blue to green spectrum, knotting between each. If the holes are too big for the knots, use simple bead caps to stop the beads from sliding over the knots. 2. Measure out a 5inch piece of 6mm etched Vintaj chain and knot the end of the cord from 1. onto one end of this. Slide a Czech rondelle onto the cord tail, and knot and trim as you did in step one. Create a series of wrapped loop Czech flower dangles, until you have enough for 6 to go onto each link of chain, 3 on each side of each link. Using a 10mm jump ring, attach a handmade polymer starfish charm so that it sits between the art beads and the chain section. 14
3. Measure out a short piece of 2mm link chain – roughly 0.8 of an inch. Attach this to the last link of the chain from step 2 and slide a large holed lampwork glass bead over this. Attach a 15mm Vintaj lobster clasp to the last link of the 2mm chain. It should sit just outside the lampwork bead; not tightly but with not too much slack. Your bracelet is complete!
