Charmed Life Bracelet

This weeks' project is really original! It's made for madcowbeads.com by Veronica Tinkler.
Alongside designing some super feminine jewellery, Veronica also teaches jewellery making. So, if this free project leaves you inspired, have a look at Veronica's  website: www.udelovichdesigns.vpweb.co.uk

The 'charmed life' bracelet looks intricate, but is suitable for improvers, or even beginner jewellery makers if you have some crafting experience. So, don't be shy - give it a go!



The chainmaille weave is very versatile and will work with lots of different size jump rings. You could try it in the jumbo 16mm size for a chunkier look. It's a great twist on a charm bracelet.
