Summer is finally here, and with it, sun, beach and warm sand... To accompany you on your summer escapades, we've designed the Escale à Ibiza collection. A collection of jewelry combining rope, thread, bandanas and laces for a bohemian look reminiscent of Ibiza's hippie markets. We promised you travel and bohemia, so don't wait any longer to discoverEscale à Ibiza 's 5 creations!
Let's start our journey together with this cord anklet with cowgirl charms and freshwater bead bracelet. Anklets are a summertime staple and a great way to dress up an outfit, whether during the day or to accessorize an evening ensemble. In this step-by-step tutorial, I'll show you how to make two anklets perfect for summer. The first is made from pink 3mm braided cotton cord and is embellished with cowgirl-style epoxy charms in stainless steel. The stainless steel will ensure your jewelry stays put all summer long, especially in contact with water and sunlight. The second bracelet is a simple stringing of 8x6mm freshwater beads.
Both bracelets have been designed for an ankle with a circumference of 21.5cm, so remember to adapt the thread/cord dimensions and number of freshwater pearls to suit yours.
These anklets can be customized to suit your tastes and desires! You can choose a different color of braided cotton cord and select different charms from our wide selection, or mix and match them ready-to-use. The hardest part will undoubtedly be choosing!

Start by cutting 30cm of wire, then slip one end into a lace clip. Using flat-nose pliers, close the lace over the braided thread.
Make 5 classic knots, leaving about 3 cm between each one.
Using two pliers, open a ring and slide the charm into it.
Hang it by sliding the ring through the braided wire.
I've interspersed the charms as follows:
- disco ball,
- santiag,
- cowboy hat,
- bottle
Add the lace clip to the other end of the cord and close it with a flat clip.
Open a ring with two pliers, then add the Lobster Clasp.
Cut 30cm of wire with wire cutters. Slide a Crimp bead into the wire, then a wire protector, and thread the wire back through the Crimp bead. Using crush bead pliers, crush the bead and fold it in half.
Thread with freshwater beads, then repeat the same step as above to finish the bracelet. Add a ring, then the Lobster Clasp.
