What is it? – If you want to discuss useful fashion accessories you have to include bracelets in the conversation. Dressing up or dressing down, black tie or no tie, bracelets are perfect for every social occasion. Perhaps the most meaningful of these vaunted fashion accessories are the bracelets we make for ourselves, family or friends. When made for others they are often termed “friendship bracelets”. They’re not only attractive but become valued personal possessions because friendship is basic to all great personal relationships in everything from our marriages to our co-workers to our own social networks. Hop online and you can find an endless selection of bracelet designs made from an inexhaustible array of threads, cords in an unlimited spectrum colors and even a nice mix of beads and shells thrown in for good measure. But how do you put it all together? We can easily see it in our minds but putting it on a wrist is a whole different matter.
