Stretch silicone bracelets have entered our world recently. They are trendy, suitable for any occasion, and most importantly, shiny and sparkly.
We have seen them this year at the most significant global fashion events.
Many fashion jewelry brands offer them and the truth is that making such bracelets is quite simple.
Once bracelets with small crystals were popular, contemporary fashion said: the bigger the better.
Whether you sell them in your store or prepare them for yourself, in this tutorial we will go through the process of how you can make glittery bracelets that fit any style in a few simple steps.
At GITA, we offer all the components you need to make the bracelets, and for those who do not want to work hard, you can also find finalized bracelets (with silicone and settings) without the crystals.

Tools and components for making sparkling silicone bracelets with crystals.
The materials you need for making this kind of bracelet are:
Step by step
Step 1: Prepper the elements for the bracelet.
This cup chain bracelet can stretch a bit and slide on the wrist when wearing it, but not more than that, it still needs to hold onto the hand quite closely.
The size is important when making this kind of bracelet, so you should see how many stone settings you need to use for one bracelet.
For example, these bracelets are 20 cm long and make a regular size bracelet.
Step 2: Creating the bracelet.
Each one of the stone settings, if it is a large 23mm square or a 18mm Rivoli, have two holes on each side that the silicon thread needs to slide through.
So, you need to fold the silicon thread in two and slide it into the top holes and the lower holes on each setting, and keep this order all the way to the end.
The ends of top and bottom lines of the silicon thread need to meet inside the stone setting so it will be closed nicely without showing any of it. Slide a small crimp bead and press it tightly with the help of the plier tool.
GITA's stone settings and charms are made of quality brass / Tombac / Zamak / stainless steel metals and plated with the metal color of your choice (17 metal colors). Read more about GITA's plating colors.
