14. Celestial Lapis Lazuli & Gold Star Charm Wrap Bracelet
What This Idea Means
Channeling the beauty of the night sky, this deep blue lapis lazuli bead bracelet features natural golden pyrite specks within the stones, paired with dangling gold star and crescent moon charms.
How to Make It
- Measure Double Elastic: Cut a 16-inch piece of 0.7mm elastic cord to create a double-wrap stretch bracelet.
- String Lapis Beads: Thread deep blue 4mm lapis lazuli round beads continuously onto the cord.
- Incorporate Celestial Charms: At regular intervals (every 1.5 inches), string tiny gold star and crescent moon charms fitted with tiny jump rings.
- Complete Double Strand: Continue stringing until the strand easily wraps twice around your wrist.
- Secure & Hide Knot: Tie a double surgeon’s knot tightly, apply jewelry glue, and hide the knot inside a wide-hole gold spacer bead.
Tips & Variations
- Tip: Inspect your lapis lazuli beads under bright light to pick strands with rich royal blue saturation and bright gold pyrite flecks.
- Variation: Use dark blue sandstone (Goldstone) beads for an ultra-glittery planetarium effect.
