Stamped Bangles

Bangles have become very popular in the past year or so. I have been making this style of bangle base for UnkamenSupplies for three months now. The ends overlap half way around, then are connected with a jump ring.

After designing bangles to sell as kits, I finally got around to make my own. I decided to do something a little different than anything I had made before.

Each bangle has a different charm. I tried to choose charms that fit with my personality. The wing charm shows freedom, the anchor is adventure, and the sea horse is unexplored mysteries.
The letters are three millimeters on twelve millimeter silver plated stamping blanks.






Then there are my personal fall style bangles. These are done in a thinner gauge, and an extra wrap. It is all antique copper. I have been making this style for UnkamenSupplies as well.

There is one charm on each bangle, a leap frog, mum and starfish.
Because they are thinner, it makes them slightly more vulnerable to getting bent, which is why I only put one charm on each. If they should get caught and bend out of shape however, it can be easily fixed by pulling the ends until it wraps tightly around something like a bottle.

And here is a silver bangle with a mood bead starfish. The design of each bangle is made to allow you to adjust the diameter for a moment. By grabbing each end where a jump ring is, and squeezing together, it will enlarge it, then spring back to shape when you are finished.

Stay shiny!
