Wire Wrapping Jewelry - Golden Roses Beaded Bracelet Project

I decided to work a little with gold wire, and happy that I did. It turned out to be a beautiful jewelry making project. These Golden Roses pieces using gold filled wire, vintage coin beads and big grossularite garnet beads. See the other wire wrapped pieces here: Golden Roses Beaded Earrings and Golden Roses Beaded Necklace.

You’ll need these supplies:

22 gauge wire
20 gauge wire
3 – glass coin beads; mine are vintage caramel
2 – 12X16mm grossularite garnet beads
6 wire jumpring roses
One spiral clasp with variation with eye, see instructions below

You’ll need these tools:

wire cutters; flush cutters
Round nose pliers
Bent nose or chain nose pliers

Directions for this Tutorial:
You are going to make a cool jumpring rose link with jumprings you make out of 20-gauge gold fill wire. You’ll need 6 of these wire links.
1. Cut five 3-inch pieces of 22 gauge wire. Note: When looping the wire in this piece the loop needs to be large, so use the base of your round nose pliers.
2. With one piece of wire, loop and wrap around a jumpring rose. Bead with a coin bead, loop and wrap around a second jumpring rose. On that end, loop and wrap another wire. Bead a garnet bead and loop and wrap around a third jumpring rose. Continue until you end with the third coin bead wrapped around the 6th rose.(see picture)
3. Make a variation of the wire spiral clasp. When you start the spiral, use the base of your round nose pliers, making a larger hole in the middle of the spiral. This adds to the uniqueness of the piece.
4. To finish the wire bracelet, attach the clasp to the ends with the wire roses.

This bracelet fits so well around the wrist and the coloring just spells class.
