When I found out that our gemstones would be going on sale, I was really excited. I have been eyeing the green/red agate for a while and knew they would be lovely for fall. The mix of green and red and brown tones remind me of caramel apples.
I thought copper complimented the color of the stones really well and added to the crisp fall feeling I was going for.
The leaf chain is another item I have been dying to play with for a long time. Its delicate but it adds movement and interest to any piece. I’m looking forward to making a pair of earrings to match the bracelet.
I went with a simple toggle clasp for this bracelet. Toggle clasps are good for bracelets since they are easy to use. Toggles work particularly well for pieces with a little bit of weight to them.
I used 9 of each type of stone. I attached the larger ones directly to the chain with head pins. The smaller two were gathered onto a jump ring and then attached to the chain.
It took me about an hour while watching TV to complete the bracelet. Here is a copy of my shopping list if you are interested in purchasing these items to make a bracelet of your own. If you don’t like copper, the chain comes in silver and gold as well.
All of our gemstones are on sale for 30% off so if you don’t like the colors I’ve picked out, pick out some that are better suited to your tastes.
Also, please note that ST350-F is an assortment and while you can request a specific size and/color they are not guaranteed. Feel free to substitute 4ST406 or 4ST449 for the 4mm green beads on the bracelet.
