To start, select natural stone beads and play with shapes, colours, sizes and effects...

Here we've used 8mm beads for the men's bracelet. A mix of rock lava, black onyx and tiger's eye beads.

For the other bracelets, we used beads of around 6mm with a mixture of different shapes of golden beads. We also used 4mm beads for the Tourmaline and Dalmatian Jasper bracelet. 

So, have fun with sizes and colours, think about the person you want to give it to... and above all, let your imagination run wild!

And then there's assembly - it couldn't be easier!

Cut an elastic thread about 25cm long and tie a knot at one end. This knot will prevent the beads from escaping during the tapering process.

Now string the beads in the desired order, interspersing the gold beads to create rhythm.

Measure the fit and adapt to your wrist measurement.

For a women's bracelet, you should start with a measurement of between 15cm and 19cm. On average, a women's bracelet is 17cm long.

For men, it will be between 18cm and 22cm, with an average strap size of 18cm.

To finish, tie the knots with the threads to form the bracelet. Pass through the loop of the second knot twice to secure the knot.

And don't forget to apply a dab of glue to the knots!

Then tuck the knot into a bead to hide it.

Et voilà! Beautiful creations ...
