Jewellery Maker Star Charm Bracelet Kit

Jewellery Maker Rose Gold Star Charm Bracelet Kit*

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

My most worn jewellery.

I've never really talked about jewellery much on my blog before, and after showing you all my new ring from The Great Frog, I though it would be nice to blog about my other favourite pieces of jewellery. 

Watch 

This was a 21st birthday present from my grandma, and it's a Rose Gold watch from Michael Kors. Loads of people have these now, but I wear mine everyday. I like that it looks elegant, but is still chunky and modern. 

Necklace

My most worn necklace has to be the wishbone necklace, which is from Astrid & Miyu. It's very dainty and simple, but I just find that it goes with everything, and I find myself reaching for it more than any of my others. This is yellow gold plated, and is really affordable.

Bracelet

I like very simple bracelets, and have a few different ones, but this one from Whistles is my favourite. It's partly a bangle, and partly a leather wrap bracelet. It's very unique and again quite subtle, but it's comfortable to wear and goes with anything. 

Rings

I wear rings everyday, and I am nearly always wearing at least two of these. The plan gold V shaped one was a hand me down from my mum. It's real gold, and it's very easy to wear. Another one from my mum is my 3 diamond ring. I wear this ring every single day, and have done for years. I get loads of compliments on it, and I really love wearing it. The gold 'crown' style ring is from Whistles, and I got it when I bought the bracelet, again it's simple but I like it. My platinum ring with diamonds was a hand me down from my grandma. I don't wear this one much as it's a lot bigger than my other one, but it's really beautiful! Last but not least, my skull ring is the ghost warrior ring from The Great Frog.I'm not sure where you could find my other rings, as the Whistles one is no longer available, and I've no idea where my other ones came from, but if you're looking for similar things, I'd have a look in a jewellers or maybe a vintage jewellers. 

It's quite an unusual set of jewellery, but these are just my favourites (not my entire collection), and you can probably tell, I like mixing metals! I also like mixing daintier pieces with heavier ones, but it's all usually dependant on my mood, and what I'm wearing or doing that day! 

I hope that some of you may have found this interesting or useful! Have a lovely day! x
