"As any bracelet or necklace accent, a great idea is to use your wire to make a diamond shape and insert a bead in the inside. This is a nice little accent for any type of necklace or bracelet. You're going to take a small piece of wire. Once again, grabbing the end of the wire in that curving motion. You're going to start to make that curving butterfly that is the basics of wire working. Then as your butterfly goes around, you're going to start to see your diamond shape, which will look similar to this. Then when you get to the very end, you'll have a piece of wire that will stick out. You can actually just insert your bead right in the middle to give it that extra bit of flare. It's almost actually a square with a bead in it. Tilt it to the side and it's a diamond. It's a great accent to any type of necklace or bracelet. Even earrings."
