Want to create some super coral beads jewelry but have no idea? I’d like to share some simple but great ideas with you. The first one is elastic coral bracelet. The materials are white coral beads (10pcs), orange coral beads (10pcs) and elastic cord. About those beads, they are about25mmlong,9mmwide,8mmthick and with1.5mmhole. Each bead has four holes—two holes on each ends. The steps are very simple. Use elastic cord to string one white bead and one orange bead, and string all the rest beads at the same order. Cut off the cord and tie off a knot. In order to let the bracelet look clean, you can hide the knot into the hole of beads. A beautiful coral beads bracelet is finished. You may think the size is a little large. Well, it is what we need, for the oversized design is the trend of fashion jewelry in 2012.

Like exotic necklace? Here I will share another design with you—coral beads and Tibetan style beads necklace. Materials: coral beads (5pcs), Tibetan style beads (4pcs), 8pcs silver bead caps, 6pcs natural Chrysocolla beads, black cotton wax cord, and alloy lobster claw clasp. Use two strands of wax cords to make three knots first, then string a Tibetan style bead, tie off more three knots and add the second Tibetan bead. String a Chrysocolla bead, a coral bead, a bead cap, a Chrysocolla bead and a bead cap again. String the rest coral beads, bead caps and Chrysocolla beads at the same order, and string the rest two Tibetan style beads like the first two ones. Cut off the wax cord with your needed length and attach them onto the lobster clasp. An exotic coral beads necklace is finished.
