Enjoy a free step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF diagram for this design! I loved this bracelet so much I couldn’t stop making it. Experimenting with different color combinations was fun, especially since this bracelet is so quick and easy to make. My favorite ended up being the one I thought I would like the least, which is the piece shown above (made with multi-colored stone-like colors and bronze seed beads). This bracelet is versatile in that you can use any round 11/0 seed bead (TOHO or Czech), and any 4mm bead (crystals, round, bicone, etc) with your superduos. This bracelet also works very well as a wrap bracelet if you double or triple the length. (I doubled it in the example above). I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Materials

As mentioned above, this piece requires round 11/0 seed bead (TOHO or Czech), 4mm beads (pearls, round crystals, bicones, etc.), and superduos. You will need about 28 4mm beads to make a 6.5-inch bracelet (7 inches when you include the clasp), or more if you want it longer. I use about 1 yard or meter of 6-lb Fireline as the thread for a single-strand bracelet. The white/gold piece, and the multi-colored piece were made with TOHO seed beads, and the rest with Czech. Here is a complete list of materials used in the bracelets shown here:

Multi-colored Raku Mix from Hobby Lobby Dyed Magnesite 4mm round (from Fire Mountain Gems) Opaque Bronze 11/0 TOHO (from Fire Mountain Gems)

    I just finished the Geneva bracelet and it is beautiful…….I have 2 questions……
    the one side of my bracelet seems a bit wavy…….is it the tension?
    I saw a picture of the Geneva done as a necklace but how does it curve? is one side with tighter tension? It was lovely in the picture
    Your patterns are wonderful……..thanks so much
