The Pearl Treasure Bracelet tutorial is a beautifully structured, beginner-friendly project that blends classic elegance with sparkling accents. Using 6mm pearls, seed beads (11/0, 8/0, 15/0), and 2mm crystals, this bracelet is built in layers, starting with a simple pearl-and-seed-bead base, followed by embellishments around each pearl to add depth and shine. The tutorial guides viewers through each step clearly, including how to maintain thread tension and reinforce key areas. The final result is a dainty but sophisticated bracelet that pairs well with the Pearl Treasure Necklace and can be completed with either a toggle or infinite clasp. This project is ideal for new beaders looking to build their skills while producing a beautiful, wearable piece.

    Quick Project Steps

    Start the Base Strand: Thread a stop bead. Begin with: Pearl → 11/0 → 8/0 → 11/0 → Pearl. Repeat until desired length (typically 13 pearls). End with just a pearl. Begin Crystal Embellishment: Exit a pearl. Add: 1 × 11/0 → 1 × 2mm crystal → 1 × 8/0 → 1 × 2mm crystal → 1 × 11/0. Go through the next pearl. This forms a crystal loop around each pearl. Repeat the same pattern between each pearl. Reinforce Thread Path: Pass through each 8/0 and crystal loop again for strength. Maintain tight tension to keep embellishments aligned but not stiff. Add Finishing Seed Beads (Optional): Between each crystal unit, add 15/0s to fill any visible thread. This softens the edges and hides exposed thread between sections. Add Clasp with Wire Guard: Exit from the last bead. Add: 2 × 11/0s → wire guard → clasp → back through wire guard → 2 × 11/0s. Stitch back into the bracelet and reinforce the clasp area. Switch to Thicker Thread (Optional): For extra durability, switch to size 8 thread after base is done. Use it for attaching clasp or reinforcing fringe. Final Reinforcement & Finish: Stitch through the entire bracelet again (including fringe & clasp). Tie off using discreet half-hitch knots. Trim or burn thread ends with a thread burner.
