Elegant Bracelet With Agate Stone & Jade Gemstone

Hello everyone !!!
Today, I propose a New Instructable with this Elegant Bracelet with Agate Stone and White Jade Gemstone.
I choose these two Stones because I like their colors, their reflections, their veins and their properties.

I wanted to highlight them in a little different way by putting them in the center of an imposing jewel. I find that the opacity of the Jade Stone, very white and intense, contrasts very well with the clarity of the Agate Stone, the color absolutely breathtaking.

AGATE is a common Rock formation, consisting of chalcedony and quartz as its primary components, consisting of a wide variety of colors.
Her properties: Agate is an excellent stone for rebalancing and harmonising body, mind and spirit. It cleanses and stabilises the aura, eliminating and transforming negativity.

White JADE is a kind of Tremolite Jade witch is a variety of Nephrite, that's usually white, off-white, or cream in colour, is a mineral.
White Jade is a Gemstone that holds a lot of meaning and plenty of healing properties. It was considered to be a lucky Stone, whether it came to health, love or business.

I chose to use my favorite technique to make this bracelet, using soutache cords to highlight the Agate and Jade Stones. Follow me step by step for its manufacture.

Material required:

• 1 Green Agate Stone square bead
• 1 White Jade Stone drop
• Soutache cords in nylon 3mm: 2 cords in nylon of different colors ( emerald green, black, lurex black)

• Nylon to sew the fibers 0,10

• Pearl sewing needles, Nb 10/13.

• Scissors

• Liquid Glue

• 2 Large round and flat faceted black Crystal beads

• 3 Round faceted emerald green Crystal beads

• 4 Medium emerald green Glass beads (satin effect)

• 6 Small transparent faceted emerald green Crystal beads

• 2 Small black faceted Crystal beads

• 2 Small opaque turquoise faceted Crystal beads

• 2 Small opaque sea green faceted Crystal beads

• 8 Sterling double loop jump rings

• 2 Sterling silver lobster clasps

• 2 Golden hexagonal shapes in stainless steel

• Black seed beads

Choosing the shape and the gemstone gives character to the jewel.

I chose a white Jade Stone drop shaped bead. As well as a large square bead of veined green Agate Stone.
Take the 3 colors of soutache cords (emerald green, black, lurex black).

Take a soutache cord of each color.

Place the cords together around the square Agate Stone to give them shape. Then sew them together with the needle and nylon thread. Pass your needle through the hole in the Agate Stone to secure it to the soutache cords. Then join them together using a small black seed bead.

Take 1 large emerald green Crystal bead.
Turn the soutache cords around this bead then pass the needle right through to secure it.
Turn the cords behind, then drop a drop of liquid glue and cut.

Take the drop of White Jade Stone.
Turn the soutache cords around to give them shape and then sew them together.
When you have gone around the drop, join them and pass your needle through the drop of Jade Stone to fix it definitively. Fill the small hole with a small black seed bead.
Fold 3 soutache cords on each side behind.
Then put a drop of glue where you cut the cords. Cut and then sew them together.

Take 2 hexagonal shapes.

Sew the 3 soutache cords all around. When you have done the trick, put a drop of glue and cut flush. Place the 4 elements together to imagine the center piece before sewing them together.

Take the 3 soutache cords of each color. At least 24 cm each to obtain 4 pieces of bracelet of 8 cm each.
Fold them in 2 and sew the folded part. Thread a double ring with its lobster clasp. Then pass your needle through the 6 soutache cords to close.

Sew 3 beads with a space between each, joining the soutache cords. (1 emerald green crystal bead, 1 water green crystal bead and 1 satin effect glass bead)

Rotate the soutache cords to take the round shape of the large black crystal bead. Then pass your needle through the bead to secure it. Fold the soutache cords behind, put the drop of glue and cut them. 1 of the 4 pieces of the bracelet is finished.

Reproduce this same operation with this succession of pearls, identical to these photos. The black crystal bead should rotate in the opposite side.

Reproduce these 2 same pieces to position them on the reverse side. Their ends must have 3 double rings on each side. Place all the elements together before sewing them in order to give them the correct inclination.

First, sew the 2 pieces with the Stones. Line them up and overlap correctly then pass your needle through to sew them.
Then, do the same with the hexagonal shapes.

Sew the 4 elements of the bracelets to the central piece. The inner ends should be sewn to the Jade and Agate Stone with a faceted emerald green crystal bead. This brings design, color and flexibility.

You can now wear an absolutely Unique Bracelet adorned with magnificent Stones and with so much appreciated virtues.
