How beautiful is this rose gold star bracelet? I love a bit of rose gold, and when the lovely people at Jewellery maker asked if I'd like to try one of their bracelet kits, I saw this one and instantly fell in love with it. It's such a beautiful piece, and reminds me of something you'd find in a high end store.
I've made jewellery before, but with life being as hectic as it is, I haven't made anything for a long time. I really enjoyed last weekend having a couple hours to myself making this bracelet, as it was so relaxing, and even better, the end result is a gorgeous wearable bracelet!
The kit itself retails for £9.95 and comes with everything you need (apart from pliers) to make the bracelet. The findings, charms and chain is really good quality, and I also had loads left over when I'd finished that you could easily make another bracelet from if you bought some more fastenings.
I haven't done a tutorial because I really did't need to, but you can see me making the kit in the photos above. There were full instructions in the box, and they were really easy to follow. Normally, instructions and me just don't work, but these were great, and had pictures too!
I'm absolutely thrilled with my bracelet, and can't believe it looks so professional! I especially love the heart clasp as it means I can put the bracelet on myself without fiddling with a traditional clasp. The bracelet is lightweight too, so is comfortable to wear. If you struggle finding bracelets to fit perfectly, this is great, because you can make the bracelet as long as you like! I just cut the chain with some wire cutters (from my plier set) when I'd made it long enough, and then simply attached a jump ring and the other end of the fastener.
Once you master opening and closing jump rings (which is easy) you can make this bracelet. The kit is perfect for beginners as it's easy, affordable and has everything you need! All you'd need is a pliers set and you're good to go. I made use of my old bead board (that I've had for ages!) to stop the small pieces moving around, but you really don't need one.
I'm really pleased with this little kit, and would definitely recommend it. If this one isn't your thing, the Jewellery Maker website has a great selection of other kits in all different styles and metals. I think this kit would make a lovely gift, or even just a treat to yourself for something to do! If you're off school, college, uni or work for the Easter holidays, this would be perfect for a chilled-out day, and you'll have a great bracelet to wear when you've finished!
I hope you're all enjoying the bank holiday Easter weekend so far! x
