Our Stones
From the very beginning of Francesca, hand beaded bracelets have been a trademark look for our brand. The simple and stylish finish, combined with the beautiful meanings from each stone have allowed us to create so many gorgeous styles and designs that are versatile and relevant.
Francesca’s Create Charm Bracelets are our classic design, with a single bar to break up the beads and add charms onto. The beads in our charm bracelets are 6mm in size, making them the perfect subtle statement for any look. Our Allure bracelet also features a bar in its design, with a smaller bead size and additional gold filled beads throughout. Alternatively Hue, Opulent, and Lumier are gorgeous beaded options without a bar. These feature stones of various size and shape, and some include multiple stones combined together in the one design. These options mean that selecting the perfect stone size and design is easy and enjoyable.
While we unfortunately cannot make every bracelet design in every single semi precious stone, we have tried our best to create popular combos, and have a wide range of options to select from. The stones and their meanings below may come in various bracelet designs, and can be found by searching on our website.

How to wear our Semi-precious stones
Styling our beaded bracelets is where the fun really begins!
Choose a simple bracelet to wear alone for it’s meaning, or for a very casual look. Try wearing a semi precious stone bracelet paired with a Gold Filled or Sterling Silver bracelet to compliment each other and start to stand out from the crowd. Or, combine together bracelets of various stones and designs to create your own unique stack. Our bracelets are designed to wear well together, and the industry strength elastic is durable, and made to last.
