  • Gemma Leaf Bracelet - DIY Jewelry Making Tutorial by PotomacBeads
Use Czech leaves as the capstone to these mandala-like components built off of a circular form. Seed Beads in size 11/0 and 8/0 create a radiating effect that draws the eye to the gemstone at the center. Use 4mm Gemstones to connect each component for a bold bracelet or necklace. The components can also be used individually for earrings or a brooch.
