artists tips
Seed beads can vary slightly in size
depending on manufacturers and coatings,
so you may need to adjust the number of
units in Round 1 of the bezels to fit the
stones.
Always err on making the starting round
too large rather than too small; you can add
an extra round to the bezel to secure the
stone, but a too-small starting round will
never sit properly around its edge.

When connecting the
medallions, it might help to turn
them facedown and work from the
back.
Use new threads to attach the
halves of the clasps rather than
using the working threads of the

make adjustments to the clasp
connection later, you can just cut
the clasp thread and rework only
that portion without causing
damage to the rest of the bracelet.
