This listing is for the instructions to make this piece of jewelry, not the actual piece or the materials. This is intermediate level project, although the instructions are very clear and thorough, wire workers of all levels could complete this project successfully.

The “Story Teller” is a design idea I have been working on for a very long time, as a way to “tell a story” with a beautiful piece of jewelry. This tutorial provides step by step instructions to create an interlocking hinged link bracelet with a nearly invisible clasp. 21 design ideas and elements included. Note: Some of the design ideas in this tutorial include Corra’s Snowflake Earrings Knot tutorial, Perri’s Winter Wreaths, and Periwinkle Bead Cap tutorials. The tutorials themselves are NOT included, just the suggestions on how to use these wonderful designs.

45 inches wire – 20 or 21g – square or round
60 to 100 inches round wire – 26g; 28g; or 30g (optional: ½ round wire for the hinge wraps)
