Jewelry Tip for June 4, 2014

Designing Bold Summer Bracelets!

Mix gemstones and metal findings for an armful of summer jewelry.

Tip 2: Try to incorporate a lot of metal elements into your design. The finished jewelry will be more versatile fashion-wise and can be styled with many different outfits.

Tip 3:Remember that your color choices aren’t restricted to beads. Don’t be shy about mixing metals; it’s fun and trendy at the moment!

Tip 4: Get the size right: Bracelets made of bigger stones and findings need to be longer than smaller ones to fit the same wrist size. Don’t guess; check the fit often while making your bracelet.

Don’t forget to visit our Clearance Section.  We have lots of great beads and findings, just perfect to inspire your next bracelet project!

Enjoy your bead-mixing adventures!

   This is a great idea. We have so many small quanities of bead/pearl/findings “leftovers” that I never can quit figure out where to put them. These bracelets are only limited by your imagination. Thank you.
