You have to admit, bracelets are the most fun jewelry you can wear. They bangle and make cool clinky noises when we walk, you can play with them when you are thinking, and the have so many different looks! You know you can never have too many bracelets.
They can be trendy or classic, vintage or mod, whatever your choice of style or mood for that day, beaded bracelets will help you, or your friends and customers, say it. They also make very beautiful gifts for friends and loved ones. Men wear them as well as women, and you can change up the beads or technique depending on the season - like wire wrapping in the winter and braided cording in the summer.
Here you will many pf my beaded bracelet projects and designs, including peyote patterns. Enjoy!

This wire wrapped bracelet has a lot of personality and a sweet caged heart pendant. The pearls give it a classic look while the wire wrapping brings in the trend-setting style. Add in the large Swarovski bicones and you have an overall elegance.

Don't the colors just want to make you suck in your mouth like your eating a lime? I love the color combo, althought you do not have to keep it to use the design. I made a second one using these colors too. The pattern starts out with some stripes and then does boxes, cuz that's the way I wanted it. I hope you like it too.

This bracelet is a little bigger than the real skinnies, but not too much at a little over a half-inch. I love the mellow colors I used when designing this. Very simple designs like this look wonderful on your wrist and any color can be used, which makes it very cool.

If you are having trouble finding matching beads for a wire wrapped bracelet, look at Czech pressed glass beads. They come in many different shapes and colors. Adding their distinctiveness to your piece tends to bring out the beauty of the bracelet's lampwork beads. I used a fluted glass bead that matched the color dot in the lampwork beads for this project.

Fun and trendy look of copper and peachy yellow pearl. I knew when I saw this strand of pearls I had to use copper with it and it came out awesome! I love copper with the fire red crystals and the orange pearls - way cool! See the directions for the Rusted Sun Pearl Crystal and Wire Bead Earrings too!

Memory wire coils are just simply fun to bead. You can make them elegant or spunky, like this one. I use silver foiled speckle colored lampwork beads with nice large holes and matched them up with different colored pairs of Czech fire-polished beads. Then I added a silver Czech fire polished bead to bring the pattern together. The charm on this along with the colors makes it very spring or summer like.

This bracelet takes some time to wrap the individual pearls on their headpins, but WOW what a funky bracelet! I love the rose quartz with the different colored pink pearls, it brings classic and mod together. Here are the matching earrings.

You know, the combo blue and green is in again and staying that way I hope. I love it. But it goes without saying that you can easily make this multistrand bracelet with any color bead you want. These are very playful on the wrist, which makes them a favorite.

When you have various beads that go together, stringing them into a bracelet can be done with little effort - you just need some wire, a claps and some spacers. Mahogany obsidian is a beautiful stone and looks very formal when paired with black.

Bubblegum pink is one happening color for pearls. They match up so well with Swarovski rose crystals, I just had to put these two together. The fact that these beads are top drilled adds to the dimension of the piece. Stringing them on one strand and adding a clasp is really all you need to do to have a beautiful bracelet.

My Halloween beaded jewelry stash is made up of really cool bracelets made of beads I find all year around. Like these rectangular ceramic orange beads. I received them at a bead swap and though what great Halloweeny type beads, and into that bead stash they went until now! I love beading... did ya know that?
