How to Make Organic Men's Jewelry

Organic elements provide the basis for attractive men's jewelry.

Organic jewelry is partially defined by the inclusion of wood, stone or bone beads. Other elements you can use to make men's organic jewelry include amber, bamboo and horn. These organic beads are ideally strung on an organic cord, whether leather, hemp or twine. These elements properly chosen combine to form masculine men's jewelry. Whether a necklace or bracelet, these pieces are as easy to create as your design dictates.

Things You'll Need

• Wire snips
• Organic string or cord
• Crimp rings
• Organic beads
• Spring rings
• Lobster claw clasps

Instructions

1. Cut an organic cord to the desired length. Crimp a crimp ring to one end of the cord.

2. Begin stringing organic beads onto the cord in the desired pattern. Test fit the piece periodically toward the end of the stringing process to ensure that the addition of the organic beads has not hampered the fit. Remove beads as necessary.

3. Crimp another crimp ring to the other end of the cord. Slide a spring ring over the small hole on this crimp fitting.

4. Slip the small ring on the lobster claw clasp into and through the spring ring. Put the piece on to ensure the fit is as desired.
