Summer calls for looks that are as cool as can be, or conversely, as red hot! Today's handmade bracelets answer both requirements. Above, a double-strand bracelet mixes cool sterling silver with cultured freshwater pearls, keishis, including a large Baroque centerpiece that is lovely. Swarovski crystals in Pacific opal lend their cool as water touch for a bracelet that is perfect against summer skin.
Below, this hot as can be carnelian bracelet features some our favorite chunky faceted carnelian nuggets that are further warmed by the addition of gold vermeil, including little vermeil charms of flowers and a dragonfly. Artist's lampwork beads contribute a touch of coolness but have orange carnelian-colored circles on the beads. Delicious for a summer day.
Pretty faceted quartz crystals are reminiscent of chunks of ice; the crystals are separated by large rondelles of 14 karat goldfill. A gold-filled toggle clasp is the closure for this chunky icy bracelet.
Below, the wonderful iridescence of abalone takes center stage in this silver bangle bracelet created with handcrafted Thai Karen Hill Tribes components in sterling silver. A bali toggle clasp is the closure.
Perfect with jeans, office clothing, or dress-up, this bracelet with lapis lazuli, Sleeping Beauty turquoise and carnelian is a classic favorite. Thai Karen Hill tribes charms hang from three sides of the bracelet.
Hope that you are enjoying your summer! We certainly are!

The sparkling days of summer need a bracelet to match! I've been busy and here are some of the newest creations: Swarovski crystal bracelets.
Above, I adore red magma, a deep mysterious red that is even more beautiful in the large cosmic bead size. They are mixed with gold, copper, indigo and sterling silver - tiny beads so that the Swarovski crystals get all the attention. Sterling silver toggle clasp.
Below, this wonderful summer green and pale topaz mixes with sand opal and sterling silver.
The bracelet above is a favorite Swarovski mix of mine: morion, a strange deep blackish-green, and the light-hearted silk. There are two strands for twice as much sparkle and interest.
Two strands make the bracelet below special, too. Red magma and tiny little sterling silver beads from the Thai Karen Hill Tribes make this Swarovski crystal bracelet a real winnder. Little free-floating Thai Karen flower charms are on the second strand. A gorgeous toggle clasp, square-shaped with intricate handwork on the top is the closure.
For bangle lovers, a Swarovski crystal bracelet with gold-filled bangles and other accents. A large amethyst crystal is the focal; other cool blues and purple are enlivened with a hot shot of pink.
Pretty colors are what this bracelet is all about; it's a tropical paradise on your wrist. Sterling silver and a pretty Swarovski crystal starfish hangs from one side.
Another double strand Swarovski bracelet features Pacific opal and cyclamen opal. The colors are cool and beautiful; the second strand with an oxidized sterling silver chain adds depth and interest to the bracelet. Sterling silver toggle clasp.
The last bracelet is another favorite of mine. I am extremely fond of the opal colors that Swarovski has; two of my favorites are together here: sand opal and Pacific opal. Mixed with gold-filled accents, these wonderful crystals are great together.
