Gemini Bracelet with DiamonDuo Beads
In this blog post, I bring you an exciting step-by-step tutorial to create a bracelet I've named Gemini . This elegant bracelet is made with DiamondDuo beads and Miyuki seed beads, and is perfect for those who enjoy unique and detailed designs. The post is divided into six parts to make it easy to understand and make. Let's get started!
Material used:
Diamonduo Beads : I used the color “ Chalk Lumi Green ” for the green bracelet and the color “ Chalk Lumi Purple ” for the purple bracelet.
Miyuki 11/0 Seed Beads : I used the color “ Opaque Luster Golden Olive ” for the green bracelet and the color “ Duracoat Op. Rainbow Glaz. Peacock ” for the purple bracelet.
Miyuki 15/0 Seed Beads : I used the color “ Opaque Limeston ” for the green bracelet and the color “ Duracoat Opaque Light Watermelon ” for the purple bracelet.
Closing with chain and carabiner
To work comfortably and accurately, we will use Nymo thread and two needles. This method will allow us to pass the thread more smoothly through the beads and ensure a professional finish.
We will start our project by attaching the lobster clasp. To protect the thread from constant rubbing against the lobster clasp, we will place a support that will keep the thread secure and firm. This is a crucial stage to ensure the durability of our bracelet.
Now it's time to start stringing the beads. We'll alternate the DiamondDuo beads with the Miyuki seed beads in this pattern: one 15/0 seed bead, one 11/0 seed bead, and another 15/0 seed bead. This design is not only visually appealing, but it also ensures that the beads stay in place.
We will continue to thread the beads in alternating order until we reach the desired length for the bracelet. The length will depend on the size of the wrist of the person who will be wearing it, so make sure to measure accurately for a perfect fit, although since we use a lobster clasp and chain, the bracelet will give us quite a range of measurements.
Once we have achieved the desired length, it is time to secure the other end of the clasp. We will place another string with a ring on the opposite side to complete the clasp of the bracelet. This step is essential to ensure that the bracelet can be put on and taken off easily.
To give our Gemini bracelet a perfect finish, we will sew backwards again using three 15/0 seed beads. We will thread the thread between the first two seed beads that previously separated the DiamondDuo beads to form a delicate flower. This final detail will add a special and elegant touch to your bracelet.
Once we have completed the entire bracelet decoration along its length, we can join the ends of the threads to make some knots, hide the ends and cut the excess thread.
Finish your bracelet by following each of these steps in detail and don't forget to check out the video tutorial we have prepared for you. In the video you will find a visual guide that will help you complete your project successfully.
I hope you enjoy creating the Gemini bracelet as much as I enjoyed designing it! Don't forget to share your results and any questions you have in the comments. Let's get to work creating beautiful jewelry!
