I'm going to switch gears here for a bit and talk about some experiences I had as a new Jewelry Designer...and there were many of them, let me tell you.
When I first started to design jewelry I said that I would never make a stretch bead bracelet…those are for children. Well, never say never. I had designed a bracelet for a client and after about a week she called and asked if I could change the catch on the bracelet. She couldn’t open and close the catch because of her arthritis and there wasn’t always someone around who could do it for her. She asked if I could change it to a stretch bracelet. Well, of course I said yes and changed it for her. It got me thinking about others who might want a stretch bracelet and why. This is my list of the virtues of a stretch bead bracelet.
- It’s easy to put on and take off, especially for those with arthritis.
- It’s easy to put on and take off period.
- You will never lose it because there is no clasp to come undone.
- The clasp won’t keep sliding to the top of your hand. You’ve seen the wrist shakers in action.
- One size fits a lot of wrists.
- It’s very hard to break a stretch bead bracelet. That’s where the stretch part comes in.
- The bracelets can still look quite stunning even without a clasp. Look how lovely bangles are.
