Get The Look: Wrapped Bracelet

We designers are constantly on the lookout for hot new trends in the world of jewelry. We are often trolling the blogosphere, trying to spot that piece that screams for its own Beadaholique version.  Web sites that feature "Young Hollywood" and street styles are always a great place to start looking.

While perusing these sources, I came to the conclusion that the wrap bracelet is still going strong-- although it is morphing into something slightly different.  The bracelets that are oh-so-now only wrap around once, but you layer the heck out of them, wearing upwards of a dozen at a time.  There are many that are knotted, in a micro-macrame fashion.  We settled upon one style that we wanted to try out for you, and here it is:

Shashi version found here for $62

Our version features a segments (the connectors) from this chain, Swarovski flatbacks, and our new waxed Irish linen cord .  It uses the knotting technique found in the tutorial "How to make a knotted waxed lined wrapped bracelet":


And here are our results!
So next time you see a celebrity wearing something you love and the thought occurs to you "I can do that" - go out and do it! It's a fun challenge to take on and very rewarding.

Cool! I like your version better then the celeb's version. It also got the wheels turning in my imagination.
