It can often be a challenge to make a dichroic glass bracelet as no two dichroic beads are exactly identical. There will be minor differences in shape and size between the beads, but most importantly there will be minor differences in the shade and coloring of the beads as well. While some people may be dismayed by this, most true artisans who love to create their own jewelry are delighted with the individuality it gives their jewelry.
Completed dichroic bracelets can be very easily bought online, and they range in price anywhere from $25 to $350 or more, depending on the size of the beads, the number of beads on the bracelet and the coloring of the beads. Price is also dependent on the material that the bracelet is made from, and whether it uses sterling silver, gold or some other material.
Commonly, you will find dichroic glass beads linked together with sterling silver, then finished off with a sterling silver clasp. Most dichroic bracelets look great when accompanied by silver as that seems to really set off the metallic glow that actual dichroic glass has. Of course there are many different styles of dichroic bracelets currently available, and not all are made with interlinking silver pieces.
Bracelets can also be set in gold, though these do end up being a bit more costly. Some bracelets are chained together by adding a link between each dichroic bead while other beads are actually made to slip onto a chain or a leather string bracelet. One particularly captivating bracelet that recently caught my eye used a pattern of copper colored quartz beads followed by small dichroic tubes on a fine silver chain, with silver clasp. This particular bracelet was stunning!
Another style of bracelet that while not as common is also very elegant is the bracelet or bangle that consists of one complete piece of metal, either gold or silver, that goes around the wrist that is finished off with a lovely dichroic glass cabochon situated in the middle of the bracelet. There are also the soft bracelets with single dichroic glass cabochons attached in one spot, which also look fantastic.
Just as with other dichroic jewelry, there seems to be an endless variety of styles of bracelets available so you should be able to find exactly what you are looking for. With the price range being so reasonable for most dichroic bracelets, you could even buy several different bracelets in different color schemes so that you have the perfect match for your different outfits.
