bracelet (pictured), you'll also need 6mm bicone Swarovski crystal beads
in birthstone colors, and alphabet beads.
Beaded Branches Class

wire (for pendant), 24-26 gauge wire, small- to medium-sized beads (pearls,
leaves, crystals, etc), chain-nose pliers, wire cutters.

flat-nose), large paperclip. Optional: 20 gauge sterling wire, 3-4 beads, clasp.
