Go bohemian-chic this summer with a DIY bracelet that smacks of vacation! A perfect blend of nomadic spirit, a touch of the sea and a golden finish, this jewel is directly inspired by trends spotted on sunny beaches and artisan markets in the South of France. Easy to make and fun to personalize, it's the ideal accessory to sublimate your summer looks - to be worn alone or in accumulation. Here, we offer you a practical double-row bracelet version, adjustable thanks to an extension chain and offering even more space for your favorite charms!
The jewel's star feature is the 4 mm flat paracord, a must-have of the moment. At once graphic, robust and comfortable, it adds a beautiful texture to your jewelry and comes in many vibrant or natural colors. Combined with stainless steel charms, it creates a modern, elegant and durable look. Resistant to water and oxidation, these charms are ideal for summer... even at the beach!
A touch of pearly white with imitation freshwater pearls adds a delicate note of freshness. Their natural look and subtle shine contrast beautifully with the cord's hues, for a result that's both chic and summery.
This bracelet can be fully customized according to your desires and favorite symbols. Moon, palm, cherry or seahorse? Create your own combination by choosing from our vast selection of stainless steel charms and explore all the shades available in our paracord category.

Cut your paracord: allow for about 2 times your wrist circumference. Here, we've cut 30 cm.
Take a cord end cap, apply a drop of glue (Hasulith type) to the inside, then insert the cord. Leave to dry for a few moments to ensure a secure fit.
Open a ring (ACX-578), pass it through the cord end ring, then through the Lobster Clasp. Close the ring.

Prepare your charms: add a ring (ACC-777) to each so you can attach them to the cord. Here, we've layered the pink glitter fish pendant with a seashell charm, connecting them with a larger ring (ACX-578).
For the green fish with white polka dots, attach it to a ball-head nail.

Thread your charms, alternating between imitation freshwater pearls and golden stopper pearls, as you wish.
Here's our composition:
1 gold stopper bead / lemon charm / 2 imitation freshwater pearl beads / green fish with white polka dots / 1 gold stopper bead / 1 imitation freshwater pearl bead / star charm / 2 imitation freshwater pearl beads / pink glitter fish + shell / 1 gold stopper bead
Tip: to make it easier to thread the beads onto the paracord, cut the end of the cord at an angle. This will make the end thinner and easier to insert into the bead holes.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other end of the bracelet, this time replacing the clasp with an extension chain. This will enable you to adjust the bracelet easily to your wrist and make two turns to the desired length.
Your paracord bracelet is finished!
Don't hesitate to personalize it even further by choosing from our range of fancy charms.
