Timeless Grace Bracelet Tutorial

Learn how to create an elegant pearl bracelet using 15/0 seed beads, 4mm pearls, and 3mm crystals in a structured right-angle weave pattern. The project begins with a base loop of six 4mm beads reinforced for stability, followed by adding 15/0 seed beads between 3mm bicones to achieve a subtle diamond effect. Using Dragon Thread (size six), a size 10 needle, and a stop bead, the design is extended by repeating the process of adding pearls, bicones, and seed beads. The clasp is secured with a wire guard and reinforced for durability. For a wider and more decorative bracelet, additional beads can be added along the sides, with final adjustments to tension and reinforcement ensuring a polished, sturdy finish.

    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare the Thread & Stop Bead: Cut a comfortable length of Dragon thread. Add a stop bead to prevent beads from sliding off. Create the Base Loop: String six 4mm pearls, forming a circular shape. Reinforce by threading through the pearls again to secure. Begin the Right-Angle Weave: Pick up one 3mm crystal, one 15/0 seed bead, one 3mm crystal, then go through the next pearl in the loop. Repeat this pattern all around. Extend the Bracelet: Continue adding pearls, bicones, and seed beads in the same pattern to achieve the desired length. Attach the Clasp: Secure a wire guard at one end and loop the clasp through. Reinforce by weaving through multiple times. Final Reinforcement & Finishing Touches: Go back through the bracelet, tightening the weave for durability. Add decorative beads to the sides if desired. Tie off and weave in the thread ends neatly.

    My local bead store closed and I have had to shop at three different stores to get some of the products I use. On finding Potamac Beads, it's now a one stop shopping. They carry the types of beads I use! I'm very happy!
