Some say that the beginnings of beaded jewelry began more than 70,000 years ago when man found the beads and gems and thought it was incredibly beautiful.

Beaded Bracelet.

Create a three-strand crystal bead bracelet with alternating 6-mm rondelles and 4-mm rounds from the Swarovski collection. Select contrasting shades of the same color for the crystal beads, like jewelry beaded and purple or fuchsia and pink. You can also create a striking contrast with black and white or sapphire and opal. Measure the length of clear elastic beading cord you need and cut three strands. Remember to add 2 inches so you can connect the strands to the three-opening clasp. Thread two strands exactly the same, beginning and ending with the 6-mm crystals. These will be your side strands. For the center strand, begin and end with the 4-mm crystals. You can use crimp beads or knots to attach the strands to the clasp.
