Hester Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Here's a picture of the pirate-themed charm bracelet that I just finished putting together: All of the charms are sterling silver, except the coins, which are pewter. The central figures are Captain Hook and the Crocodile. The skulls are hand-carved Tibetan beads made from ox bone, and the small black beads are made of onyx.

CaptainSatan Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I'm not sure what I'll do with them. But I added some of these beads to my last order from Jas Townsend & Son.

Hester Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Thanks, Kate! Nifty beads, CaptainSatan! I look forward to seeing what you eventually do with them. BTW, the skull beads I used on my bracelet were ones that I originally wore in braids in my hair for a pirate costume one Hallowe'en. But, that was a lot of work, both to braid them in, and to get them out again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BriarRose Kildare Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Way too cool. I love charm bracelets but always have a hard time wearing them cause me wrists are so small. So where can I get me a bracelet like that? I am positively drooling with delight.

You could try making you own, Briar Rose! That way, it would fit your small wrist perfectly, and you could choose charms that aren't too heavy. I collected the charms and the skull beads on eBay. I had the basic idea of how I wanted to make the bracelet, but did not know how to attach the beads. So, I took a short private lesson at the local bead store, where the shop owner showed me the appropriate technique. She also had the sterling silver chain, which she cut to size, and the black onyx beads. So, I completed the bracelet in her shop, using her tools. It was really a fun afternoon!
