Three strands, two stones, one gold chain: just one braid to bring them together. By mixing red jasper, zirconium oxide, and diamond link chain, this bracelet plays on contrasts of textures and reflections. A refined piece to customize as a necklace or anklet, according to your desires.

For those who like to mix materials and create a unique piece, infinitely customizable.

Cut a nylon thread about 30 cm long for a bracelet. Thread a crimp bead, then the connector. Pass the thread back through the crimp bead and flatten it against the edge of the connector.

Slide the beads onto the thread by inserting the small end into the first beads. Continue until you reach the desired length. For a 16 cm bracelet, add about 1 cm: the braid will slightly shorten the thread. At the end of threading, connect the second connector with a crimp bead.

Repeat the same steps to attach a second bead thread. This time, make a temporary knot at the end of the thread — you can braid before finalizing the stringing. Then connect a chain of the same length as the bead rows to the connector using a ring.

Braid the three strands without tightening too much — keep flexibility, that’s what gives the bracelet its elegance. Once the braid is in place, connect the chain to the connector with a ring. Attach the second bead thread with a crimp bead.

Place the clasp and extension chain at the ends. For an even more jewelry-like finish, glue two mother-of-pearl cabochons onto the connectors.

Perles Corner tip

The braid shortens the thread by about 1 cm. Anticipate this loss by adding an extra centimeter to each strand. And for a more airy look, don’t braid too tightly — flexibility makes all the difference.

This model suits all lengths. Simply lengthen the strands to make a necklace or an anklet bracelet. Here, we combined prehnite and rose quartz for a softer version — you can create with the stones that inspire you.
