You could say I’m on a bit of a crystals kick… first this necklace, and now today’s project! Today’s DIY could almost be called a mini DIY, as it is just so simple and easy to make. I’ve long ogled cuff bracelets with rough cut jewels by Kelly Wearstler (and Chanel for that matter) and thought I’d try making one. I’m so happy with how this one turned out and have been wearing it over and over again… it’s so lovely all by itself, with a pretty summer dress. (Sometimes its nice to not think about stacking and just opt for one simple cuff, no?)
Materials: One 1.5″ Cuff Form // One Large Rough Cut Crystal
Six Small Rough Cut Crystals // E6000 Glue
Take the large crystal and coat the back surface in glue.
Firmly press to the cuff and allow to dry.
Add glue to the back of one of your smaller crystals..
…and press on the diagonal.
Repeat.
Continue adding crystals… two more on a diagonal, and then two straight across.
All done!

This looks amazing – love the organic element that the crystals add to the sleek cuff!

I love this look- that cuff is beautiful on it’s own but the rough crystals take it to a new level!

Awesome. So cool and simple. I’m really liking big raw crystals right now and just made a pendant.
