Want to create your own jewelry for back-to-school? This DIY tutorial shows you step-by-step how to make a set of four natural stone bracelets that are elegant, colorful and easy to personalize. Inspired by the rich, luminous hues of autumn, this project is part of our Lumière d'Automne collection, a set of jewelry combining natural stones and vibrant colors.
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create a harmonious, on-trend stacking of bracelets: natural stone beads (green quartzite, jasper, African turquoise), golden fancy chain, flower beads, letter beads and golden Miyuki seed beads. All in a palette of green, gold and turquoise, ideal for accessorizing your back-to-school outfits.
Each bracelet can be customized to suit your tastes: you can change the natural stones (tiger's eye, rose quartz, sodalite, rhodonite...), vary the bead shapes or adjust the colors to create a unique autumn bracelet. This project is accessible to beginners and requires very little equipment, while offering a professional and refined finish.
Whether you're a DIY jewelry enthusiast, looking for ideas for do-it-yourself bracelets with natural stones, or want to give a personalized gift, this set is for you. Follow our step-by-step tutorial to make your own personalized handmade bracelets, and let the warmth of the season inspire you.

To begin, we'll make the bracelet with the gemstone flower beads. Start by cutting about 20cm of wired thread, then thread a bead tube to be crushed. Slip the wire into a wire guard and thread the wire back through the bead tube. Using a pair of pliers, crush the bead tube to secure the wire.
String flower beads with gemstones.
Before you reach the halfway point, string 5 rondelle flower beads, then a gemstone flower bead and 5 rondelle flower beads again. Repeat with a gemstone flower bead and 5 rondelle beads. You can finish the bracelet by stringing the same number of gemstone flower beads as in the previous step.
Repeat step 1 to complete the bracelet. Add an open ring with clasp on one end and just a ring on the other.
Your first bracelet is complete!
For each new bracelet, start by repeating step 1. Once you've done this, string Miyuki Seed beads and stop before you reach the halfway point.
String three rondelle beads followed by a gemstone tube bead. You can then add three more rondelle beads, followed by a gemstone tube bead and three more rondelle beads.
Finish the bracelet by stringing the same number of Miyuki Seed beads as in the previous step, and repeat step 4 to close it.
Your second bracelet is now complete.
For the third bracelet, repeat step 1 of the tutorial, then string Miyuki seed beads up to halfway down the wire. Add the heart bead and string the same number of Miyuki seed beads as before.
Finish the bracelet by repeating step 4.
Finally, to make your last bracelet, cut approximately 15cm (adjust according to your wrist size) from the gourmette chain and bars. Using two flat pliers, add an open ring with your clasp on one side, and just one ring on the other.
Your last bracelet is finished!
