Dive into the world of the sea with our new DIY bracelet tutorial, directly inspired by the Odyssée Perlée collection . This summer collection showcases handmade jewelry with marine accents, blending natural materials and colors inspired by the treasures of the ocean. In this creative project, we invite you to create a trendy pink bracelet, perfect for summer, combining freshness, simplicity and originality.
Here, pink has pride of place, in a pretty mix of gemstone chip beads - Rose Quartz - and an iridescent ceramicstarfish bead , for a textured, luminous finish. These beads evoke seashells and the changing reflections of the sea at sunset. A perfect combo to accessorize your summer outfits, whether beach or city!
This bracelet is easy to make, even if you're new to jewelry-making. Thanks to our detailed step-by-step instructions, you'll learn how to mount your beads on an elastic thread, adjust the size to your wrist, and achieve neat finishes. No complex tools are required: just a few beads, a little wire and you're done!
For an impeccable finish, use Crimp beads and Crimp bead covers to secure your beads and achieve a neat result. A Lobster Clasp has been added for a practical finish and an elegant touch to your creation.
This seaside DIY bracelet is also a great idea for a handmade gift, to be given as a present or worn as a duo. And as always, you can customize the colors and beads to suit your desires thanks to our wide selection of chip beads and ceramic starfish beads, available on the site.
Ready to embark on this creative odyssey? Follow the tutorial, share your creations on our social networks @perlesandco on TikTok, Instagram or Facebook, and let the sea inspire you.
Attaching the Lobster Clasp
Cut about 20 cm of wire. Slide a Crimp bead onto one end of the wire, then add your Lobster Clasp. Pass the wire back through the bead to form a loop around the clasp. Using Crimp bead pliers, firmly crush the bead to secure the clasp.
Add a crushable bead mask
Place a crushable bead cover around your crushed bead to hide the finish and give a more aesthetic look.
Closing the bead cover
Using flat-nose pliers or Crimp beads pliers, gently close the bead cover. For more details on this step, please refer to the "Making beautiful finishes with Crimp beads" datasheet, available here.
Stringing the beads
String the natural stone chip beads and the ceramic starfish beads. Alternate chip beads and ceramic star pearls to create a pretty harmony. Here, between 12 and 14 chip beads between each ceramic star.
Finishing the bracelet
To finish your bracelet, repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 on the other end of the wire, this time replacing the Lobster Clasp with an open ring.
Your bracelet is finished!
