I made this bracelet up for a special friend of mine. This is garnet, January’s birthstone, and pearl a favorite stone of many women and June’s birthstone. It is so perfect for winter and Christmas.

Directions:
1.) Attach one side of the clasp on the wire with the crimp bead, beading a garnet bead in before the crimp. Trim the tuck the end into the beads when stringing.

2.) Bead garnet, pearl, spacer, pearl. Repeat 10 more times. End with a garnet.
