10 Creative Ways to Use Tassels in Jewelry Making

Tassels in jewelry aren't just a trend, they're a staple! Tassels as ornaments date back to the ancient empires, for obvious reasons: they're fun to wear, and they can carry meaning. Here are 10 creative ways to use tassels in your handmade jewelry, from the tassels experts at WSW:
  1. Tassel Talisman: Tassels are fun as decorative components, but they can be meaningful ones too! Live more intentionally by crafting a talisman: a good luck token that you can wear and see throughout your day, that will remind you of the magic in life.Tassel Talisman Bracelet by BlissOriginal featuring tassel from WomanShopsWorld

  1. Birthstone Tassels: Making a necklace or bracelet with a different colored tassel to represent each one of your children, or even your best friends. Creating jewelry using tassels in birthstone colors is a fun twist on a traditional idea, and with the WSW tassel color palette, making the color match is easy!
  1. Little Reminders: create a piece of jewelry using a special tassel color story to remind you of a special place, memorable sunsets, to relax, or breathe, etc. Set the intention and use your tassels to remind you.
