For example for a Mother's day gift, you can attached rose quartz beads (stone of love) , heart or angel charms to a nice chain.
Isn' it a nice way to send a message of love to you mum?
Although, this type of jewelry can be quick to make (compare to necklaces or earrings), you need to be careful when crafting your piece because they may damage more easily (knocks, scrapes...). A special attention must be given to the clasp or toggle you will choose : It must be functional ( you must be able to open and close your jewelry easily) and must match nicely with other findings and beads.
If you want to sell or offer a bracelet, it's a good idea to add a chain attached to the clasp or toggle, so the person will be able to adjust his jewelry easily.
The common length is 6 to 7" ( 15 to 18 cm).
