    Work the Spiral: Progress through the bracelet by adding and decreasing beads according to the Dutch spiral technique.
    Maintain Symmetry: Pay attention to the symmetry and spiral formation as you add new rows of beads.

    Final Touches: Add the optional gold-plated star bead for embellishment if desired.
