I have been showing off some of the gorgeous Venetian glass beads I received from Gems2Behold and I finally got a chance to sit down and create with them. This bracelet includes some of their pink and silver foil heart beads, plus pink pearls, silver wire beads, and pink crystals. It?s finished off with a sterling toggle clasp. I?ve included the stock numbers for some of the materials used in this project in the materials list below.

The finished length of the bracelet in this project is large, about 8 ½ inches, in order to compensate for the puffy heart beads, which are three dimensional. This makes it necessary for the bracelet to be a little larger than you might normally wear. It will fit someone who wears about a 7 ½ inch bracelet.

To make this bracelet you?ll need the following:

4 ? pink striped Venetian heart beads (SKU:HS-13-RB-PI)
3 ? 8mm sterling wire beads (F-B-WR-SS-08)
1 ? 12mm sterling Bali-style toggle (F-C-SS-12)
8 ? 5-6mm pale pink oval pearl beads
16 ? 4mm Swarovski rose alabaster crystals
2 ? sterling 2x2 crimp bead tubes
Approx. 12 inches of beading wire (.014 or .015)
2 beadstoppers
Crimping pliers
Wire cutters
Round-nosed pliers
