For this bracelet, Cynthia paired the organic gleam of Dakota Stones druzy beads and the unique texture of TierraCast spacers with the refined sparkle of crystal beads for a look that's elegant and wild all at once. The unique multi-strand creation needed the perfect finishing touch, so Cynthia used a tube clasp to bring everything together. You can find more inspiration for using just the right clasps in your designs in this Artbeads Cafe episode.
Cut two lengths of jewelry wire each approximately ten inches long. Add a gold-plated 2x2mm crimp tube to each one. Bring one wire through each of the loops on half of the gold-plated 14x10mm 2-ring magnetic tube clasp. Go back through the crimp on each wire and crimp each one in place. Hide each crimp with a 3mm gold-filled crimp cover.

Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
