Parallel crystal bracelet from The Potomac Bead Company. Shows out to use jump rings and your choice of crystal brand (Swarovski, Gobi, Preciosa, etc.) to make this fabulous chainmaille product.
Prepare Your Materials: Open some 18 gauge jump rings and keep some closed. Similarly, prepare the 20 gauge rings.
Start the Chain: Attach six closed small rings to one large ring and close. Double this large ring by threading another large ring through the six small rings.
Expand the Chain: Separate the small rings into groups of two. Add another large ring, threading through two small rings, and add six new small rings before closing.
Repeat the Process: Continue adding large rings, each time capturing two of the previous step's small rings and adding six new small rings before closing.
Add the Crystals: Attach a double strand clasp to two lengths of beading wire. Alternate adding 4mm and 6mm bicone crystals, threading through the chain's small rings.
Finalize the Bracelet: Finish by attaching the clasp to the other end, securing it with crimp beads.
