A Brain Fart

Here was me, reading this cool new wire book.  I find this really cool river rock bracelet by Lorelei Eurto and decide I wants one only from clay.  So, I toddle off to my table whereupon I create this excessively cool faux jade stones.  :)  LOVE that Pardo trans!  So, I make my stones and put the perpendicular pukas in and get out my wire.  I make jump rings and the spirals and all is right in my tiny world.  Except that the jump rings have to be big to go through the pukas.  They look great but now the bracelet won't lay against my wrist.  Enter above mentioned brain fart. Just HOW do I connect these stones now?  Anyone have any ideas?  Hellllp!
