Approximate Size7 1/4 Inches

Because these gemstones are genuine garnets, I created a bracelet that brought all of the attention on them.

This bracelet looks like a dream thanks to the beautiful gemstone pebble beads from Dakota Stones. They add rich color to the look, while antique brass and antique gold elements provide a nostalgic appeal. This dreamy bracelet is the perfect accessory for any occasion.

Slide a Dakota Stones red garnet 4-6mm pebble bead onto a gold-filled 1.5-inch 26 gauge head pin with ball end, followed by a TierraCast antique gold 4mm Rococo round heishi spacer, and a 3mm faceted round in Light Colorado Topaz. Make a wrapped loop at the top of the beads. Repeat for a total of two dangles and set aside.

Cut a length of jewelry wire approximately 10 inches long. Slide on a TierraCast antique copper 2x2mm crimp tube, followed by half of the JBB antique brass-plated pewter flowers round toggle clasp set. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube and crimp in place.

Add a granulated bead to the strand, followed by a pebble bead, a 3mm round, and nine pebble beads.

Add a granulated bead and a dangle to the strand. Add a 3mm round and a dangle to the strand. Repeat this pattern until you have added all of the dangles, then add a 3mm round to the strand. Make a mirror image of the bead pattern on the other side of the dangles.
