Well, I never thought I would be saying this, but I love making bracelets! Bracelets have some unique characteristics and potential that allows for designs that cannot be implemented in a necklace. And, while a bracelet can be pretty gutsy and make quite a strong statement, they are a more subtle expression of taste and personality - because they usually aren't seen right away, at first glance, like a necklace is. Additionally, while a bracelet can be bold and outspoken, there is less of it so it speaks more quietly than a necklace. For people who like jewelry but who don't like to stand out, a bracelet is perfect!
From my perspective, the designer's view: bracelets take fewer beads and other materials and therefore areis less expensive and less time consuming to make than necklaces. So far I have used only leftovers or beads already on hand and other on-hand materials to make all of my bracelets. However now that I am so fond of making them I will more than likely actually purchase beads and findings specifically for bracelets. Pictures will be forthcoming!
