Why Choose Natural Stone Beads?

Natural stones (also known as semi-precious gemstones) remain popular because:

- They come in endless colours, shapes, and textures

- Each stone has its own meaning and energetic symbolism

- They pair beautifully with leather, steel, and other materials

- They appeal to both men’s and women’s fashion markets

- They add value, weight, and authenticity to bracelets

From lava stone to amethyst, jade, tiger eye, howlite, rose quartz, turquoise, onyx, and many more. Each stone tells a story and brings a unique aesthetic.

Materials You Need

✔ Natural Stone Beads

Typically 6 mm, 8 mm, or 10 mm beads are used for bracelets. Choose the size that suits your design.

✔ Elastic Cord or Strong Jewelry Wire

Elastic is easier for beginners; wire offers more durability.

✔ Magnetic Clasps

Available in stainless steel, gold, rose gold, black, silver, antique, and many other finishes.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the clasp has holes suitable for your cord thickness.

✔ Glue (optional)

For reinforcing knots or securing ends.

✔ Pliers & Cutting Tools

Flat pliers, round-nose pliers, and cutting pliers help you achieve a clean finish.

Sun Enterprises offers a wide range of magnetic clasps, wires, leather cords, and jewelry findings, allowing you to create bracelets that look professional and high-end.

Step 1: Measure the Wrist

A well-fitted bracelet always begins with proper measurement.

Wrap a measuring tape around the client’s wrist:

- Women: 17–18 cm

- Men: 19–21 cm

- Children: 12–16 cm

Then add 1–1.5 cm for comfort and bead spacing.

Step 2: Choose the Right Beads and Pattern

Beaded bracelet design can be incredibly simple or beautifully complex. For beginners, start with:

- A single type of natural stone

- A complementary accent bead (gold, silver, steel)

- A symmetrical pattern

For more advanced designs, you can include:

- Spacer beads

- Lava beads for essential oils

- Charms

- Mixed stones for a boho look

- Matte + shiny combinations

Sun Enterprises supplies beads, cords, and clasps in bulk for B2B customers, ensuring consistent quality for every bracelet.

Step 3: Prepare the Stringing Material

If using elastic cord:

- Cut a piece at least 10 cm longer than the wrist size.

- Pre-stretch the cord lightly to prevent future loosening.

If using jewelry wire:

- Use a soft, flexible wire suitable for bracelets.

- Add crimp beads to help secure the clasp later.

Both materials work well with magnetic clasps, especially the styles offered by Sun Enterprises, which are designed specifically for beaded bracelets.

Step 4: Bead the Bracelet

Once your materials are ready:

1. Slide each bead onto the elastic cord or wire.

2. Keep the bracelet flat to prevent pattern mistakes.

3. Adjust colours or patterns as needed.

4. Finish by leaving about 4–5 cm of extra cord at each end.

If using elastic, ensure the beads sit snugly next to each other without stretching the cord too tightly.

Step 5: Attach the Magnetic Clasp

Magnetic clasps elevate your bracelet by offering a modern, polished finish. They are easy to use and comfortable for everyday wear.

If using elastic:

1. Thread each cord end through the hole of the clasp.

2. Tie several tight knots (surgeon’s knot recommended).

3. Add a tiny drop of glue to secure the knot.

4. Slide the knot into the clasp opening if possible.

If using jewelry wire:

1. Thread the wire through the clasp opening.

2. Loop it back through a crimp bead.

3. Tighten firmly.

4. Press the crimp bead flat using pliers.

5. Trim any excess wire.

Repeat on the other side of the bracelet with the second half of the magnetic clasp.

Always ensure the magnets face the correct direction before securing.

Step 6: Final Adjustments

Check the bracelet for:

- Proper fit

- Alignment of beads

- Secure clasp

- Symmetry

- Loose or sharp wire ends

A professional bracelet should feel smooth, comfortable, and sturdy.

Let glue dry completely before wearing the bracelet.
