Shielding Bracelets

I often make my shielding bracelets of metal--silver, iron, or copper--because I use them for a different purpose. I hadn't thought of making one like this before, though.

Ooo I like the double wrap Triss!

If I made one I know I'd put in quartz and amber for sure. maybe tiger's eye. Something black. I need to look up meanings sometime haha

haha I was actually looking at silver beads too I associate with the Kitsune fox and the Inari goddess and Silver is in that whole "Energy" field. The beads were too wide though so I stuck with Cloudy quartz, Rainbow Chalcopyrite spacer's and.....grrr i cant find the green beads name. They didn't have them labeled. So far Im loving it and i have extra so i might make a matching necklace

Are the green jade?

Could be, that was my goal sadly my art store is very hit or miss. Most of the beads are plastic and the actual stone ones arn't named so you have to just feel and guess what fits you best

If you're looking for a good source for stone beads, I make my mala ouf of beads from Fire Mountain Gems. They have a variety of stone/gem/wood beads in many sizes/qualities. Plus they are not expensive (unless you want super high quality gemstone, lol) and the shipping is fast and cheap!

Does anyone know any good places I can buy decent beads? Michael's? Joann's? I want to get some that are nice and would prefer real instead of plastic ^^

Both those locations will have them but you gotta make sure you feel them. If you don't know how plastic feels vs stone, I'll second Fire Mountain Gems. They're very reasonable and has good stuff. Everything you'll need to make it. Etsy could be another option. If you have a Hobby Lobby they'll have something too. Wallmart also carries a few beads. Really anywhere that has craft supplies will have something.

Michael's is where I got these ones

That's what I thought, thank ya!
