Filigree link bracelet video tutorial
Hey everyone! In this wire work tutorial, I’ll show you how to create a dainty filigree link bracelet. You’ll learn how to make the individual components using a simple wire work technique, securely add small faceted stones, and assemble everything together. I’ll teach you how to make your own jump rings and clasp from scratch, ensuring your piece is entirely handmade. Don’t forget to leave a comment and like the video!

I have just realised that the text block that tells you the length of square wire for the details has mysteriously disappeared! 🙄 I'll add the details here because I can't see a way to overlay it on the video. Sorry about that! These are the wire lengths: Cut a 15cm (5.9in.) (top wire) and a 25cm (9.8in.) (bottom wire) length of 0.6 mm (22ga) square wire. Take the 15cm (5.9in.) length and attach it to the ‘bone’ as close to the top loop as possible. Almost the entire length of this wire should be on the right-hand side of the ‘bone’
