Help! Trouble with Bead & Jump Ring Bracelets

Picture of Jump Ring bracelet.

I wanted to make a bead and jump ring bracelet.

But on my first attempt, the 10mm beads I used for my project kept falling out of the 12mm jump ring cages.

I used 2mm larger size jump rings for my beads that were 10mm.

I even tried using smaller jump rings but they would not fit around the beads.

My DIY bracelet is the same as in the picture, only the beads are different.

I would very much appreciate your advice on this matter. Thank you.
