Beaded bracelets are the easiest way to add color and texture to your wrist, and the bead makes all the difference. Vinyl, seed beads, curved acrylic, stone and gold beads each look and stack a little differently. Here are the types of beaded bracelets we make and how to wear each one.

Vinyl bead bracelets

Our Vinyl Bracelet pairs recycled vinyl African beads with Indian discs in gold or silver, in more colors than we can list. Choose your size by bead: the 4mm is slim and easy to tuck in, the 6mm is the happy medium, and the 8mm makes a statement on her own.

How to wear them: line up two or three colors you love, or one color in two sizes.

Curved acrylic bead bracelets

The Zo Bracelet has curved acrylic beads in solids, marbles and splatter paint, with Indian discs in gold or silver between them. She comes in three sizes: the original, the Zo 6mm and the slim Zo 4mm.

How to wear them: a Zo in a neutral like cream or camel goes with everything; save the brights and splatter paints for your color days.

Seed bead bracelets

Tiny beads, fine texture. Seed bead bracelets are the thin layers that tie a stack together.

How to wear them: wear a few in a row, or slip one between bangles and bigger beads.
