Pearl and Crystal Bracelet

We’ve found a great tutorial for a simple pearl and crystal bracelet at Cook Love Craft’s blog. It’s simple and easy to follow and perfect for someone who may just be getting started with jewelry making. Get the complete tutorial HERE.

P1159395What we love about this design is that even though it is simple, there are almost endless possibilities of customizing it for yourself.

Both Czech glass pearls (which were used in the tutorial) and Swarovski Pearls are available in numerous colors. At The Artistic Endeavor Swarovski Crystal bicones are available in over 40 colors and Preciosa Crystal bicones (similar to Swarovski, but with a lower price tag) are available in 70 colors. That can make for a lot of different combinations!

Here’s just a few of our favorite color combinations:

white and aqua ab8mm White Pearls with 4mm Aqua AB bicones

eggplant and light rose

8mm Eggplant Pearls with 3mm Light Rose bicones

lilac and jet

8mm Lilac Pearls with 6mm Jet bicones

black and crystal silver

8mm Black Pearls with 3mm Crystal Silver bicones

Something as simple as changing the type of clasp you use can also really change the look of the bracelet:

All the clasps pictured can be purchased HERE.

And with all the color combinations available, this would be a wonderful bracelet to make for a bridal party. It can be easily customized to your bridal party colors and who doesn’t appreciate a handmade gift?

Hello!

The Artistic EndeavorHello and welcome to The Artistic Endeavor’s blog. The Artistic Endeavor opened over a year ago as an online marketplace for handmade and artist designed products. We’ve recently decided to add jewelry making supplies to our online store as well. We currently have a variety of beautiful handmade jewelry available for sale, and for us the next logical step was to start providing the supplies necessary to create beautiful pieces.

The purpose of this blog is to not only shamelessly promote all of the items we have to offer (Visit www.theartisticendeavor.com!), but also to provide some information about jewelry making and design, as well as some tips and tutorials.

Hope everyone enjoys!
