Pearls never go out of style, but that doesn't mean you have to stick with simple strands of pearl jewelry. I gave the classic pearl bracelet an updated feel that is still very classic by combining one strand of pearls with one strand of matte crystal beads. This bracelet also goes well with my Winter White Pearl and Glass Earrings.

You will need the following tools and supplies:

*27 - 6mm Fire-polished crystal matte beads
*39 - 5.5-6mm White button pearl beads
*1 - 10mm 2-Strand sterling knot clasp
4 - 2x2mm Sterling crimp beads
2 - 12 inch Pieces of .014 or .015 beading wire
Wire cutters
Chain-nosed pliers
2 Bead Stoppers
Crimping pliers
