    Quick Project Steps

    Bold and brassy, this Shieldmaiden bracelet is inspired by the female warriors of Norse mythology. It is a matching piece of jewelry to the Shieldmaiden earrings to be worn as a set or enjoyed on its own.
    1. Watch the Shieldmaiden Earrings tutorial to learn how to make the components for the bracelet. You will want to make 5 or 6 of them depending on the size of your wrist.
    2. Once you have the components built, watch the Shieldmaiden bracelet tutorial to see how to connect them together.
    3. Line the bicone at the end of the bracelet with 6 seed beads and thread through them again to strengthen it. Add a delica to the middle of the seed beads. Pick up 2 seed beads and the clasp and 2 more seed beads. Thread through all of them a couple more times.
    The Shieldmaiden bracelet is a wonderful statement piece with just enough sparkle from the crystal bicones to catch the light and the eye of the beholder. Find all the materials needed for this beautiful bracelet and more at PotomacBeads.

    Reviews indicate supplies may not be complete. I was hoping to ship this to another address but didn’t see that option available. So I’ll need to pay two shipping fees.

    Found it extremely difficult to bring up “oval clasp”. Searched the whole site and would key in “oval clasp” and wouldn’t come up. Was ready to cancel order out of frustration.
