Handmade Jewellery Gift Ideas

With Christmas just a few months away, many people are already starting to think about what to buy their friends and loved ones. Finding the perfect gift can be a huge challenge, particularly when buying for those who are either fussy or already have everything.

If you’re looking for a truly unique gift tailored to the original, look no further than The Bead Shop. By creating your own gifts by hand, you can be sure to impress the recipient and give them something they don’t already have.

Here are just a few handmade Christmas gift ideas using treats from The Bead Shop.

Swarovski Choker

Chokers are a popular accessory on this season’s catwalks with designers such as Louis Vuitton and Balenciaga creating stunning designs. Thankfully, it’s possible to make your own without the price tag. Swarovski crystals are the perfect winter accessory and are sure to look beautiful when placed on a choker.

When it comes to making the choker itself, there are so many options to choose from including Rattail Cord, Steel Chains or even Shamballa Nylon Cord.

Statement necklaces and collars

When it comes to statement jewellery, there are no rules. Create a flat necklace out of fabric (think of Peter Pan collars) and either thread or glue beads onto it to create a mosaic-inspired piece that really stands out in the crowd.

Drop earrings

With statement jewellery being so popular this season, create your own drop earrings with the help of earring findings and pendants and charms. If you already have your own jewellery making toolkit, take your time to try out different beads and accessories until you find ones that complement each other and perfectly capture the recipient’s personality.
