Why I Fell in Love with Making Gemstone Bracelets (And What’s Coming Next)
By Lea — the heart and hands behind ResiNation Accessories
There’s a kind of magic in making something with your hands.
Not just the physical act of crafting — the stringing, the knotting, the layering of colour and texture — but the intention behind every little decision. It’s like leaving pieces of your spirit inside something tangible. Something wearable. Something real.
Lately, I’ve fallen hard for making gemstone beaded bracelets. Not just for how stunning they look (though let’s be real, they’re gorgeous), but for what they feel like. Each bracelet I create is more than an accessory — it’s a story. A vibe. A little slice of energy you can wear on your wrist like armour, like a love note, or like a quiet reminder of who you are.
And now? I’m working on bringing that same energy to your ears — with a new range of beaded gemstone earrings coming soon. But before we dive into what’s next, let me share a little of what’s been lighting me up lately.
Why Gemstones?
I’ve always believed that jewellery should mean something. It shouldn’t just be pretty. It should speak. It should feel like it belongs to you — like it’s chosen you, not the other way around.
That’s why I gravitated to gemstones. Each one holds its own story. Its own energy.
Take Aquamarine, for example — cool, calming, ocean-like. It brings clarity and peace. Or Tiger Eye, with that golden fire that helps you stand tall and fearless. Amethyst is dreamy and protective. Black Lava Stone? Pure grounding. Earth energy. Real raw power.
So when I sit down to design a bracelet, I’m not just thinking about colours (although I do love a gorgeous colour palette). I’m thinking about how it feels. What it says. Who it’s for. Maybe it’s a bracelet for a new beginning. Or a confidence boost. Or a heartbreak mender. Whatever it is, I want it to hold space for the person who wears it.
The Craft Itself
Each bracelet starts with a vibe in my head. Sometimes it’s inspired by a sunset, or a song, or even a feeling I’ve been sitting with. I’ll lay out my beads — gemstones, clay beads, spacers in silver, gold or rose gold — and just play. Let the colours talk to each other. Let the textures guide me.
I’ve started creating bracelets that tell little stories.
Sunset Warrior was born from fire colours and bold energy.
Mystic Meadow is softer, spiritual, grounding.
Ivory Night Chic, monochrome magic.
Each one feels like a mood — and every bracelet is made with so much care. Every knot is tied with intention. Every bead has a purpose.
And best of all? No two bracelets are ever exactly the same. That’s the beauty of handmade. It’s personal. It’s raw. It’s real.
You Asked for More… So Earrings Are Coming
Here’s the thing I love most about this journey: you.
Your messages, your orders, your support — it means everything. And so many of you have asked: “Lea, do you make earrings too?” And now… I finally get to say, yes, they’re coming.
Beaded gemstone earrings that match (or complement) your favourite bracelets. Light, elegant, and full of the same powerful energy you’ve come to love from my wristwear. Whether you're a minimalist or a statement queen, I’m making pieces that’ll make you feel seen.
I’ve been experimenting with different shapes — from delicate drops to dreamy hoops — and testing combinations that feel balanced but bold. Expect rich textures, natural stones, and of course, that signature ResiNation vibe: soulful, sassy, and made to elevate you.
It’s Not Just Jewellery… It’s a Feeling
When you wear a piece I’ve made, I want you to feel something.
Maybe it’s empowered.
Maybe it’s calm.
Maybe it’s just a little more you.
Because I know what it feels like to put on jewellery that changes your whole energy. That gives you a little lift. A little love. A little reminder that you are magic — even on the days you forget.
And for me? Making these pieces helps me remember too. It’s healing. It’s grounding. It’s how I pour beauty back into the world after everything I’ve been through. After every moment I doubted myself. After every time I wondered if I was enough.
Turns out… I am. And so are you.
