Choosing the Right Pandora Bracelet Concept

Let's decide what kind of bracelet we will collect: silver or with gold inclusions.
Also consider in what colors there will be a bracelet or only silver charms.
For everyday wear or for a specific look?
You should consider your daily activities.

First, choose the base of the bracelet!

First, you need to decide on the base for the bracelet, on which the Pandora charm sequence will be worn:

• silver with gold clasp
• oxidized silver bracelet
• gold
• leather double or single

How to assemble an amazing Pandora bracelet, with which you will look unusual after a while? It is imperative to select the one you want. It is also necessary to remember that after a while it can stretch a little - especially when there are a lot of charms. As a rule, it is better to choose a bracelet with a margin of one or 2-3 centimeters more wrist girth. Thus, while filling the bracelet with pendants, there will be enough space.

Selection of charm types for PANDORA bracelet

To assemble a Pandora bracelet harmoniously, you need to know what elements it consists of, so as not to buy many charms with the same purpose, but to organically assemble a Pandora bracelet in the same style:

• - suitable for fixing movable charms within one section of the bracelet, as well as stoppers
• dividers are Murano glass charms or narrow silver charms that add a single style to the bracelet and prevent the same type of charms from merging

How many charms fit on a PANDORA bracelet?

To understand how many charms there should be on a Pandora bracelet, you need to know what size it is and from what material. The size of the bracelet determines its length and, therefore, the longer the jewelry, the more charms will fit on it. Also, different charms eat different amount of space, therefore, it is possible to unambiguously understand how many charms will be on the bracelet only on the basis of their availability.

However, there are indicative values ​​for the number of charms: from 17 to 25 pcs. But do you need so much?

It should be noted that you should not completely fill the bracelet with charms. Such an ornament will be inconvenient to put on and the charms will interfere with bending. Therefore, you should, nevertheless, leave a small free distance between the charms and the clasp in 3 - 5 cm.

How to shape a Pandora bracelet

There are many ways to shape a bracelet, let's take a look at the most interesting ones.
Divide the base bracelet with stoppers or clips to obtain three sections. These three parts can be filled with different charms. Clips and dividers not only form the base of the bracelet, but also decorate it so you should choose them according to your taste. The clips can be fixed on the thickening and then divided into several groups.

Next step- the formation of a repeating combination of charms or a separate part of them in each section. Typically, in each section, charms have a similar shape and color.

There are never too many charms!

Our site recommends to immediately think about how many charms you want to wear on your future bracelet. You can buy charms immediately with a margin for the future and then combine them. Leather bracelets have a limit on the number of charms, as a rule, you should not wear more 5-7 pieces immediately, otherwise the leather base may stretch and lose its appearance.

ABC bracelet assembly method

The bracelets presented in the catalog are collected by our designers and the collection is periodically updated and supplemented. This guarantees you a truly unique piece of jewelry that you will not see on your friend. The presented assembly methods have both a classical alternation and a chaotically selected sequence of charms. Both constructions have a harmoniously finished bracelet design.

One of these assembly methods has the following concept. We choose two charms that have a dividing function - murano or clips, and in the central one there will be a charm-pendant. To maintain symmetry, there must be charms of the same color and size on both sides of the central pendant charm. To maintain the "balance" of the decoration and so that the central part does not look too bulky, you can wear Murano glass charms around the edges. You can finish the composition using the method " ABC«.

Nowadays, hand-made things that preserve individuality, a particle of the soul and the warmth of the hands of their creator are appreciated more than ever. HandMade is at its peak of popularity today and is in demand. Practically everything is done by hands: postcards, photo albums, candles, soap, clothes, accessories and many others. A hand-made thing carries great value, and not only because it is exclusive, but also because it was made alive, with real feelings, emotions and soul, by a person who put all his skill in it.

One of the most popular accessories today is bracelets handmade ... There are many ways, as well as materials, in order to create a unique designer bracelet.

So, let's take a look at some of them in our article. I want to note right away that for the manufacture of some bracelets we need special ones: round-nose pliers, pliers, side cutters.

1.Elastic bracelet- one of the most simple ways making bracelets. To create it, you will need (stretches) and (stone, glass, metal).

On the fishing line, you need to dial a certain number of beads and tie a knot several times, cut off the excess ends of the fishing line, and hide the knot in the bead. Here is the simplest bracelet:

In order to somehow diversify the bracelet and make it more interesting, you can add,,.

You can also make a bracelet in several rows thanks to several strands.

It turns out very nice bracelets:

Various metal pendants can also decorate the bracelet. They are attached to special ones that are easy to put on the fishing line. Bails and pendants are connected with. In order to separate the rings, we can use round nose pliers and pliers.

Thus, the bracelets are transformed and become quite elegant.

You can hang not only metal pendants, you can also other elements, for example,.

Swarovski pendants cling to the bracelet with the help of these, which are also easy to put on the fishing line.

2.Chain bracelets- the most widespread and popular way of making bracelets.

To create it, first of all, we need one that will play the role of the base in this product. The rest of the elements are a variety of beads and pendants. Such bracelets can look like this:

There are bracelets in which the chain can be easily traced, tk. there are not so many beads and pendants on it. And, on the contrary, there are bracelets with clusters of beads, which cover the main chain from view and make the bracelet more voluminous. Both are original in their own way.

Pendants are attached to the chain with rings, and beads are attached with. This is done as follows: thread the pin through the bead, bend the pin at a right angle using round-nose pliers, cut off the excess with side cutters (the tip should remain approximately 8-10mm) and twist the tail of the pin onto the base of the round-nose pliers. Then just open the resulting loop and attach the bead to the chain.

Pins can be both with balls at the end (as in the picture), and with studs, there are also decorative pins.

If you want a bulky bracelet with many beads, you will have to work hard on it. I advise you to do it in 2 stages: first, make beads with loops, and then attach them to the links of the chain. It will be more convenient and faster this way.

A very beautiful and at the same time uncomplicated bracelet is obtained from chains and ribbons that are intertwined in the links of the chain.

To complete the bracelet you will need. This can be a regular carabiner, a hook lock, a 2-piece toggle lock, a magnetic lock, a magnetic tube lock with multiple strands, or a clip lock.

All these clasps are attached to the chain by means of rings or links of the chain itself. Sometimes ready-made chains with locks are sold.

3. Bracelets from pins- simple to manufacture. Ready (there are different lengths) we put on 1 or more beads, on the other hand we also make a loop, and then fasten it with another such bead on a pin.

Here's what you can get:

At the end, similar to the previous bracelet, we make a lock on the chain (using rings).

4. Bracelet with a cable... In addition to the stretch line, there is also a regular one. On it, as well as on a stretch fishing line, beads are collected (it is possible with decorations - hats, rondels, etc.). You can get, for example, such a bracelet:

The only difficult moment in the manufacture of this bracelet is the fastening of the clasp. For this we need: (clip beads)., the ring and the lock itself.

The fishing line must be threaded through the hole of the calotte and several knots must be tied. Place a crimp-clamp bead on this knot and squeeze it with pliers. After that, close the calotte and cut off the excess fishing line from the side of the loop. A lock is attached to the ear with a ring. The same operation is performed after completing the product on the other side, but a ring or a piece of chain with an ornament at the end is attached to the clip eye to adjust the length.

If you want some of the line to be free of beads without moving the remaining beads, you can also use clip beads. It looks like this:

Also, you can wear not only beads on the fishing line, but also ribbons. This is done very simply with a needle.

5. Shamballa bracelets- at the peak of popularity today. They carry in themselves a certain amount of sacred meaning, since jewelry has the most powerful energy, protects from the evil eye, gives strength (external and internal), gives peace and peace of mind, serves as protection from the negative influence of the world around, fill with vitality and self-confidence. This jewelry is popular among world celebrities. Most often they are made with the addition of beads with rhinestones, but you can decorate them with other elements, for example, connectors in the form of crosses. They can be made in 1 row or in several rows. In any case, they look very beautiful.

6. Wide - in themselves are already full, in principle, do not require any additional elements. They are smooth, and there are also filigree with patterns.

To make the bracelets more interesting, you can stick on them, for example, such things -. This is best done with a 2-component epoxy resin.

Also, the simplest metal bracelets are used as bases for gluing bead embroidery. This trend in handmade is a whole art that requires the patience and perseverance of the master. This is usually done like this: according to a conceived sketch, cabochons are glued onto a piece of felt, which are then sheathed with beads, as a result, a whole pattern of beads is obtained, which, as a result, is cut out and glued to a piece of leather, which is then again glued to metal bases. It is not so easy to master this kind of skill right away, it takes time and experience. The result is such beautiful, fabulous jewelry.

Hand-made things are currently appreciated. Each craftswoman tries to create a unique and inimitable piece of jewelry from scrap materials. Do-it-yourself wicker bracelets are one of the most fashionable and sought-after accessories. Simple details such as beads, laces, ribbons and many other materials are used to make them. Despite the way they are woven, the bracelets look original and unusual.

Sequence of work

Cut 2 cords from the skein: one is 1.5 times the circumference of your wrist, the second is 4 times longer than the first cord. At the end of the short section, tie a knot and put a small bead over it. Before making a bracelet with your own hands, secure the thread with a pin or paper clip to any work surface. Wrap the cord in a long piece, folded in half, and stepping back 4-5 cm from the bead, tie a few square knots, tying the middle thread. Then pass a short string through the bead and pull the side ends along it. Form a couple of sturdy square knots under the first piece and put on the next bead. This way, keep securing and stringing the beads until the DIY bracelet wraps around your wrist. Finish braiding with the same number of knots as you did at the beginning. Cut off the remaining ends of the side threads and burn with a lighter. Can be fixed with transparent superglue. At the end of the middle cord, place a bead similar to the other end, tie a knot and hide it under it. The bracelet can be worn by tying it on the wrist.

On a thread about 2 meters long (the excess will be cut off after work), put on two large beads. Then collect 5 beads, a smaller bead and 5 small beads again. Repeat the step through the first two beads and tighten. The bead line should run along two large balls. Repeat a similar set of medium and small pieces of jewelry and, in the same way, go around the first beads and pass the needle through them. You should have a visual beaded ring with two large pieces of jewelry inside. Next, repeat the inlaid rows, adding one large bead each, and thread the needle through the previous ball and just put on. Thus, each next and penultimate row will have one common large bead.

It is necessary to fasten the fastener on one loop, and it will cling to the other.

Before assembling the bracelet, you should choose the size of the beads and their number. Also decide on their shade - whether the stones will be monochromatic or create color range various shades. The assembly principle is to attach all parts to the chain with connecting rings. There is an option to hang the chain with beads so that it is not visible.

The accessory offers customers a flight of fantasies - every woman of fashion has the opportunity to choose a base and pendants that will appeal to her. There are just as many assembly options - as far as imagination is enough.

How to choose the right Pandora bracelet?

Before purchasing this jewelry, you need to know a little about the nuances that should be followed when choosing, this will help to avoid bad taste. The creation of a bracelet is a huge sacrament that must be taken seriously. From the outside, it seems that stringing beads onto the base does not require absolutely any effort, but in fact the process requires a considerable amount of time and attention. When creating an individual piece of jewelry, the owner endows it with her energy and emotions, thereby the bracelet becomes a magical and very personal talisman. So where to start your choice?

• Determine how full your bracelet will be - the length of the base depends on it. If you plan to fill the bracelet completely, the length of the strap should be 4-5 cm longer than the girth of your wrist, if you plan to create a light piece of jewelry from several charms - 1 cm added to the length of the base is enough. When choosing leather product it is important to take into account that the leather will stretch slightly under the influence of the environment and the weight of the pendants.

Additional elements for assembling a beautiful bracelet from Pandora

Considering how to properly assemble Pandora, it is important to remember that not only the base is needed, but also additional elements:

- dividers that fill the space between the hangers and separate them.

- clips - devices with which the base is divided into several parts. The clips allow you to maintain visual lightness and prevent the pendants from rolling towards each other and towards the lock area. Together with clips, stoppers are used - plastic and silicone fasteners or rings, which fix the jewelry details.

Correct formation of the bracelet means dividing the product into three sections. The selected clips should also have an attractive appearance so as not to make the decoration ridiculous. When further filling the sections, it is important to remember that the shape and color of the charms of one section must match the shape and color of the pendants from other sections.

How to choose the right pendants

When choosing the style and focus of an individual product, remember that the main rule is relative minimalism. Attempts to combine a huge number of different pendants on one basis will lead to a tasteless and vulgar result. The rule "the more the better" in this case rather hurts than beautifies. If the base is leather or textile, you should limit yourself to 5-7 charms - more will stretch the strap and the product will lose its beauty.

Leather looks great with a business or summer outfit, while maintaining the lightness and airiness of the image. Choosing a silver or gold base suggests a little more beads, but don't fill all the free space with pendants.

Fashionable Bead Combination Ideas in Different Styles

Moving on to the creative part of creating a masterpiece, consider the ideas of prefabricated bracelets, depending on how you want to give meaning to the jewelry. You can collect beads in different directions, change the sets of pendants depending on your mood or occasion.

You can reflect on the wrist the date of birth and the name of the child, the wedding day or an important word for yourself - for such cases, the manufacturer has released a collection of charms consisting of numbers and letters.

The bracelet can indicate the preferences and hobbies of the owner - images soft toys, books and other images symbolizing the hobbies of the hostess. Identification of family members in the form of figures of people, hearts and symbols of a fairy tale - all this will emphasize the femininity and tender soul of the woman of fashion.
