Try out the new, soft silk cords from Smyks next time you want to make a bracelet. Each cord has a gentle cotton core wrapped in real silk. You can see our full selection of silk cords here.
This bracelet is made with 8mm brown silk cord. You will need approx. 60cm. for a bracelet like this, if you want it to wrap around your wrist 3 times. Add your charms and beads to the cord, then finish it by gluing the tips into a magnetic clasp. Here we have used a frosted gilded steel 6mm magnetic clasp. The charms you see on this bracelet are 2 gilded steel charms with crystals, one clear crystal teardrop, and one mint green teardrop. We have used one 6mm frosted gilded steel bead, and one grooved gilded starust bead.
We’ve used approximately 40 cm of 8 mm mint‑green silk cord. As shown above, add your charms and beads, then glue the ends into a magnetic clasp. We’ve used a gilded steel charm with a purple crystal heart and a gilded stardust bead with crystals. The magnetic clasp is the same model as the one shown above.
Here, we’ve used approximately 60 cm of 8 mm black silk cord. We’ve added a gilded steel charm with a pink teardrop and black crystal teardrop. The grooved gilded‑steel stardust bead and the simple frosted bracelet bead are the same models used above. The magnetic clasp is also the same as in the examples shown earlier.
The silk cord is also available in 4mm, in light sand and black. Here, we have used gilded brass spacer beads with eyes with a 4.7mm hole. We have attached different zirconia to the spacer beads, using headpins in gilded sterling silver with plate. You pull the headpin through the zirconia bead and form a loop. As in the other examples, the ends are glued into a magnetic clasp. In this case, we’ve used a matte gilded magnetic steel clasp in 4mm.
We hope you’ve been inspired to make your own bracelets. This silk cord is an excellent alternative to leather cord and gives your designs a more exclusive look. Thanks to its softness, the cord is easy to work with and fits charms with hole sizes down to 4.5 mm.
