Beaded bracelets

A few days ago I decided to organize all my beads and came across beads that I didn't even remember I had because I had them stashed away in the back of my jewelry supply chest.
Some of them are Swarovski pearls, onyx, opal, lava and picture jasper beads to name a few.
So I came up with the idea of making some chunky bracelets. It felt good again to be working with beads. Besides, I am waiting on some solder and silver sheet so this is a good time to put some of my beads to good use.

Hope you like these. I will be listing them in the Etsy shop sometime today.


Have a lovely tuesday everyone!

This bracelet features copper colored ceramic beads, picture jasper, brass tags, copper chain, hill tribe silver closure and bead.



Black onyx, fluorite, hill tribe silver bead and handmade sterling silver closure make up this bracelet.



For an interesting twist, this one features grey folded ribbon in between black onyx, lava, Swarovski and Hill tribe silver beads. Carabiner clasp.



This one just oozes full of autumn colors like green opal, picture jasper and wood beads, brass tags, copper chain and a handmade sterling silver clasp.



Can't you tell I have a lot of onyx beads? Well, they are a great color for anytime of the year, plus these beads are A+++ quality. They come with a high gloss polish and give off a nice sparkle when worn.
The other beads in this bracelet are a faceted rock crystal quartz, a golden colored Czech glass bead, a handmade sterling silver pebble, Hill tribe silver beads and a handmade organic sterling silver clasp.



And lastly we have a lovely bracelet that is composed of cream and gold colored Swarovski beads, picture jasper, a handmade wire wrapped link and carabiner closure. All sterling silver metals.

Red River Jasper Bracelet/ Necklace

I have been hoarding this stone for over a year now. I took it out of my cabochon drawer about a month ago not being quite sure what to make with it.  I was never quite sure what I would make with it. I went back and forth between a necklace and a bracelet. Trying to figure out what looks best.  Well, since I couldn't decide I made it into a piece of jewelry that can be worn as both, a necklace and a bracelet. I'm super happy with the result. I think it looks stunning. I purchased this stone in Germany last year as I was visiting my family. Swirls of cream and gorgeous rusty red colors make up this highly polished stone. I opted for a 4mm thick black rubber ( silicone ) string, sterling silver end pieces and a lobster claw closure.  I love the simplicity of it. It fits perfectly for a wrist of 6 3/4"- 8" inches ( that includes the 1" inch extender chain ). It looks best when it fits a bit snug around the wrist. And the best part is is that it can be worn as a necklace as well.
The length of the string is 22" inches.

Back into the studio. I have a couple of more things on the bench that need attending! :)

Hope your weekend was great!


Happy monday everyone!
