Meredith Roddy is always creating beautiful pieces of jewelry using SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS and this bracelet is no exception. Meredith fashioned together a fun charm-like bracelet using SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS Pendents and Elasticity Chain from Beadalon. The elasticity chain allows the bracelet to stretch making it easier to put on and take off. The SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS Pendant used was style #6428, the Xilion Rivoli Pendant, in Crystal Silver Night. The pendant comes in a variety of colors, so feel free to mix it up and make it your own! Below are instructions and a list of all materials and tools needed to make this bracelet.
