This intricate wire-wrapped bracelet features a stunning wave-like design with faceted beads. Here’s a tutorial to create a similar Wave Pattern Wire-Wrapped Bracelet

Materials Needed:

1. Copper wire:
   • 18-gauge for the main structure.
   • 26-gauge for wrapping.
2. Faceted beads (4-6mm).
3. Jewelry tools:
   • Round-nose pliers.
   • Chain-nose pliers.
   • Wire cutters.
   • Nylon jaw pliers (optional).

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Create the Base Frame

1. Cut base wires:
   • Cut three pieces of 18-gauge wire, each about 8 inches long (adjust for wrist size).
2. Shape the base:
   • Lay the wires parallel to each other, leaving equal spacing between them.
3. Bind the wires:
   • Secure the wires together at one end by wrapping with 26-gauge wire for about 1 inch.

Step 2: Weave the Wave Pattern

1. Start the weave:
   • Take the 26-gauge wire and wrap it around the first base wire 2-3 times.
   • Bring the wire under the second base wire, over the third, then back under the second.
2. Create curves:
   • Adjust the tension of the weaving wire to form gentle waves as you move along the base wires.
3. Repeat:
   • Continue the pattern along the length of the base, ensuring the weave stays consistent.

Step 3: Add Beads

1. Incorporate beads:
   • Thread a bead onto the 26-gauge wire during the weaving process.
   • Position the bead at the center of the wave or between base wires, and secure it by wrapping around the base wires.
2. Space evenly:
   • Add beads at regular intervals for a balanced look.

Step 4: Finish the Ends

1. Secure the ends:
   • Wrap the 26-gauge wire tightly around the base wires for the last 1 inch to secure the weave.
   • Trim any excess wire and tuck ends neatly.
2. Form loops:
   • Use round-nose pliers to create small loops at both ends of the bracelet for attaching a clasp.

Step 5: Attach Clasp

1. Add jump rings:
   • Attach jump rings to the loops at both ends of the bracelet.
2. Connect the clasp:
   • Attach a lobster clasp to one end using a jump ring.

Final Touches:

1. Shape the bracelet:
   • Gently curve the bracelet into a circular shape to fit the wrist.
2. Polish:
   • Use a polishing cloth to shine the copper and remove tarnish.
