Bead charms are one of the original forms of bead jewelry. The charm bracelet is a very popular item for women of all ages. It is a way of expressing your personality with personalized charms. Classic charm bracelets consist of a chain with charms attached by jump rings. The charms hang down from the chain, and swing and jangle together. However, bead charms have holes so they can be threaded on to the chain, and become more of an integral part of the bracelet.

Beads can be made of a number of different materials, from metals to glass. Most are carved or molded in to a specific shape. They are usually larger than most other beads, as well as having more intricate patterns. They are often used as the main piece in pendants or necklaces, and charm bracelets are often made entirely of this type of bead.

metal bead charms

The most popular metal to use to create charm beads is sterling silver. This beautiful metal brings a touch of class to your charm bracelet. In Bali, the talented silver smiths make highly intricate designs, using their granulation and wire work technique. The designs on these beads are highlighted with oxidization, and look great when attached to an oxidized sterling silver chain.

Stainless steel can also be used to create beads, as an inexpensive alternative to sterling silver. However, this metal is not as versatile as silver, and has more of a grey look to it. Brass and bronze can be used to bring a golden color to the beads. These can be strung on bronze or brass chains, and combined with wood or glass beads for a very unique look.

All metal beads can be highlighted with enamel or resin, which can be painted in to indented patterns in the metal. Black enamel painted on to a bronze charm bead looks particularly stunning. Bright pastel colors can be used effectively with sterling silver. Children find these more colorful beads very appealing.

glass beads

Glass is a very versatile material that can be hand blown to create unique pieces, or mass produced for more generic looking styles. These bring vibrant colors to your charm bracelet and can be used in combination with sterling silver or other metal beads. The translucent quality of the glass contrasts beautifully with the density of the metal.

Glass can be created using any combination of colors, making for interesting patterns and shapes. These can bring a unique twist to an all metal bracelet. One glass bead can be used in the center of the piece as a single highlight, or several can be interspersed through the bracelet to create a pattern.

how to create bead charm jewelry

Traditionally, a piece of bead charm jewelry is based around a metal chain. The metal that you choose for the chain should match with the beads that you are planning to use. Sterling silver beads should be used with a sterling silver chain. Glass charm beads can be used with any metal. This chain should have a small clasp mechanism, which the charm beads can be slipped over.

The length of the chain should be between seven to eight inches for a bracelet, and sixteen to eighteen inches for a necklace. A small length of adjuster chain can be added to allow for adjustments.

Once you have the base of the bracelet prepared, all you need to do is thread the charm beads on and create any kind of pattern that you like. The beauty of these beads is that you can change the pattern whenever you feel like it. This will appeal to those that love to be creative and to change their look.

A Bead bracelet can be made of any number of materials, from natural substances such as wood and shell, to any kind of metal. Sterling silver beads are widely available in Bali, and are often used to create both bracelets as well as necklaces. The unique look of these beads brings a special quality to any piece of jewelry.

Bronze and brass are also being used more and more these days as an inexpensive alternative to the more precious metals. These can look beautiful in their natural color, or can be plated to resemble gold or silver.

As Bali is a tropical island, seashells and wood are found in abundance here, and some very intriguing beads can be created out of these substances. Other beading materials include pearls, crystals, plastic and resin. There are so many beads available, which makes making bracelets so much fun.

stretch bead bracelet

A Stretch bead bracelet is created by stringing beads on to elastic. Before you start, you should tie a knot in one end of the elastic, to prevent the beads from falling off. You can then thread the beads on, creating any kind of pattern that you wish. You can have all one style of bead, or a combination of materials together. There really are no rules, so let your imagination go wild!

Once you have created the length that you desire, all you need to do is tie a knot, and add a dab of glue to keep the knot strong. It is as simple as that. Children can have fun creating this style of bracelet, as it is so easy to create, and they can experiment with different beads. If they do not like what they make, they can easily take it apart and start again.

macrame bracelet

Macrame bracelets have been popular for decades, and are a fun way to be creative. They are fairly simple to create and you can make anything from thin simple friendship bracelets, to wider, more intricate designs. All you need is some cord, string, ribbon or leather and some beads. This inexpensive style is a great way to accessorize on the beach, and works well in the tropics. You can make bracelets for the wrist or ankles. They can be worn alone or several at a time.

Macrame bracelets are made by taking two or more colors of cord. These cords are then knotted in to a pattern. There are many different styles of knots, from the simple square knot to inverted knots. The colors can be used to create diamond shapes or stripes, or the classic chevron pattern. Beads can be incorporated in to the design in any way you like. More masculine styles can be made by using leather in place of the cord.

wire wrapped bracelet

A Bead bracelet can be created by wire wrapping beads together in a line. This is a great way to combine several types and sizes of beads. If all one color and size is used, this makes for a classic looking bracelet. When combining several styles and sizes, you can make more modern styles, which can be worn with any kind of outfit.

This style of bead bracelet is made by threading wire through the hole in the bead, and then wrapping it around itself, before threading it through the next bead. These bracelets are very popular with young and old, and always look great. It takes some practice to get the wrapping precise and neat.

Once you have mastered the skill, you can experiment with different numbers of wraps and different styles, such as the beehive style or the spiral.
