Very attractive! I’m puzzling over how it closes… are the metallic beads in the end magnetic clasps or something? Just curious.

Just beautiful! I love your beads…and the white leather really shows them off.

I am also interested in that closure!

Thank you all :smile:

@endymion and @AIMR yes, the closure is magnetic. They are each half-spheres that connect to make a whole sphere. I really like having magnetic closures because they’re so easy. I used two because of all the weight of the beads. The loop with a knot is mostly unnecessary but does help me hold it when putting it on

Wow–I have a bunch of those I forgot about! I use them for necklace closures because the little lobster claws are too hard for me to work! I never thought to use them for bracelets! Thanks for sharing!

This is lovely. I love the closure too and I totally get the knot at the end helping with putting the bracelet on.

I just this morning realized that the beads I ordered for the middle row are different than the beads I received… So I’ve adjusted the link in the post (just incase anyone was interested in them). I ordered these tube shaped beads but I’m pretty sure I received these barrel shaped beads.

And while I’m at it, here is the white leather cord, I’ve ordered a few times from this etsy shop and have been extra pleased with them. The magnetic clasps were from Amazon which I usually try to avoid, but I was feeling impatient and wanted them fast…

I don’t know if you’ve used AliExpress for beads, but there a ton of sellers on there and the prices are good.

It is a long delivery time though, generally about 6 weeks
