Clips can also be used temporarily to keep the beads in place during short breaks when creating the bracelet. The clips can also be used as decorative pieces, depending on the person who is creating the bracelet.

Spacers are commonly used to put more prominence on the big decorative beads and to separate them from other decorative beads. These beads can also be used as decorative beads themselves, especially when using them between charms. Spacers can also be used in different colors to add more color or contrast with the available colors on the bracelet.

Both of these objects do not have to be a part of the bracelet and can also be easily omitted. These serve both functional uses as well as provide an aesthetic appeal to the bracelet.
