How to Embellish an Adjustable Silder Clasp Bracelet

[@beckyj5875]

Beautiful bracelets. I like bracelets made like that better that the ones made with the sliding knot.

[@beadaholique]

I love these metal slide bracelets too. Gorgeous, minimalist, and a lot easier than knotting.

I need to get those covers for the crimps. Didn't know they had them. Cute Bracelet. 😊 I love the silver one.

We love crimp bead covers, they're one of our favorite finishing touches, here's the crimps and covers we used for the silver version beadaholique.com/products/basic-elements-crimp-tubes-stardust-crimp-covers-2x2mm-and-4mm-48-pieces-silver-plated

Hello. I'm trying to put my chip beads directly on a thin snake chain (0.8mm thick chain). Can I use crimp beads to lock the beads together in one place so they don't slide across the chain? Also I don't want the beads part to be stiff but have some flexibility so it can adjust to your wrist when you wear it. Can I achieve that? Thanks!

[@beadaholique]

Crimps may work, but we recommend checking if they may break the chain. If they do break the chain links, you may want to consider silicone bead bumpers. The bumpers would also be the best way to adjust beads on your project. I recommend 2mm bumpers. Here is a direct link: beadaholique.com/search?type=product&q=silicone+bumper+2mm

I want to create bracelets that won't tarnish recommendations?

[@beadaholique]

Stainless steel should not tarnish so that would be a good option. Here is a link to a lot of stainless steel supplies: beadaholique.com/search?type=product&q=stainless*+steel*

How do you tighten one if these to your wrist?

[@beadaholique]

The silver ring that the chain goes through is what we call a slider clasp, it's got silicone rubber on the inside that will hold the chains in place until you pull on them, so it can be tightened or loosened without opening or closing anything. Here's an example: beadaholique.com/products/adjustable-slider-clasp-round-with-silicone-center-8mm-4-pieces-antiqued-silver-tone

Very helpful!!!

I had no idea you had to cover your crimp tubes! I’m obviously a novice at jewelry making. Is it required to put a crimp bead over a crimp tube?😬

[@beadaholique]

No, not a requirement at all. It's cosmetic, not structural, so the crimp tubes will hold just as well without them. We like them because they're a nice finishing touch that blends the crimping into the rest of the piece.

What type of chain did you use?

[@beadaholique]

We used a partially finished bracelet finding but the chain in it is similar to this, only a little thinner: beadaholique.com/products/silversilk-capture-3mm-gold-knit-wire-over-gold-ball-chain-core-by-the-foot

Thanks!

May I suggest two things? The first is to change your background from that dark gray to a white background. The dark gray distorts the colors of any beads, crystals or gemstones and in fact, washes them out to a muddy color. The second suggestion is to film your tutorials with better lighting and a 4K camera. Other than that, great tutorial with detailed instructions. Thank you for taking the time to make and post it.

These recent videos are being recording using our Covid set-up, which has a lot of compromises to it. Once quarantine is over we'll be back in our studio with our white background, 1K light panels and x30 optical zoom and I think we'll all be happier :)
