No bride doesn’t want to make her special day more special, more meaningful and eternal, as they try their best to arrange everything, any detail by themselves, especially the important part of wedding jewelries! From the jewelry design and shop the materials and tools to assemble all beads and supplies, they treasure every steps in this process. Maybe the jewelry is not as brilliant and good craftsmanship as those sold in showcase, but the meaning is profound!

For the other brides, this may be quite different. They choose to shop wedding jewelry instead of do it themselves, cause the day is so important and they hope everything is perfect, especially for the wedding jewelry that will bring her gorgeous and elegance.
Both may not perfect. But today, this post may help you to make everything more perfect.

This post will share a tutorial of a classic bridal bracelet. No complex beading technique, flexible choice for beads and elegant looks.

You can choose any kinds of jewelry beads that best matched the wedding, pearls,gems or crystals.

The core material for this inspiration is wire !

Step 2

Cut a piece of 50cm 28 gauge jewelry wire and wrap it around the U-shape wires.

Step 3 Wrap around the U-shape wires tight.

Step 4 Cut another two pieces of 18 gauge jewelry wires in 20cm and insert them between the U-shape wires as shown in the picture.
