Make // Wear .01: DIY Gemstone Bracelets

January 17, 2013

Posted 09/12

Now before we get into all the Valentine’s Day fun, I wanted to share an easy rainy day bling project to fight away the winter boredom:) Since this is the week to introduce new series, I am going to start labeling my DIY accessories the Make // Wear projects…

Supplies:

Chain (long enough to wrap around your wrist 1-2 x.) – MJTrim or Etsy are great online sources for cable chain.

Gemstone beads – 1 inch wide. You can find these at any craft store. I found mine at an antique market and etsy supply section!

Lobster Clasp

Jump Rings – 10 mm should be fine.

Wire – use the same color of your chain and make sure it is thick wire.

Pliers

Instructions:

1. Measure your chain and divide into two equal lengths. If you are doing a double wrap around divide where it would hit behind your wrist. You can divide chain with a pliers or metal snips.

2. Measure out your wire and loop one end tightly around the end of the chain with your pliers. Place your bead through the wire and tightly cut and wind the other end around the second chain strand.

3. Add your lobster clasp and jump ring using your pliers to bring both chain ends together.

Pretty simple if you have the right supplies. I have a whole set of colors I am dreaming of making. Birthday gift for the year:) If you would like a similar necklace, you can check out the DIY cable necklace set and apply accordingly.

Shopping for yellow gold band rings is a pleasurable and out of the ordinary experience. Nearly every jewel is inimitable, and with a few exemptions, two like pieces of jewelry from two stores are seldom of matching quality.

I love handmade jewelry. I have had lots of fun making jewelry. I have gotten lots of comments and questions about where I got the jewelry. When I tell them I made it they want me to make some for them. I’m thinking about actually doing this and making it into a small business. I currently get my beads from The Bead Traders @ http://www.thebeadtraders.com. Do you think their prices are low enough to be able to make money from them?

In Sapphire history, ancient Greece and Rome, kings and queens were convinced that blue sapphires protected their owners from envy and harm. Also during the Middle Ages, the clergy wore blue sapphires to symbolize Heaven. Sapphires come into popularity when Prince Charles gave Lady Diana an engagement ring of Blue Sapphire. Color has the most important influence on blue sapphire’s value.
