might not be an issue if you just door to door but if you start getting profitable trademarks can be a real issue.
the entire us ip industry is corrupt, that is why the us switched to "first to file" on inventions instead of first to invent, some kid goes to a company that says they will help get the kid a patent, instead they file for themselves and the kid has no recourse. i've heard of similar happening with good domain name ideas, so i wouldn't be at all surprised if there were also a parallel for product names/trademarks.
so if you come up with something awesome on your own you will need a very trusted lawyer.
also for your bracelets the pattern itself may be something you want to get a design patent on if you think it is awesome enough, remember first to file.
edit the patent stuff is more relevant if you are designing the jewelry pieces, like the skull bead. if you are just stringing together others beads and re-selling just the brand is relevant
edit 2, i am not a lawyer, so you may need the advice of a real one

well be careful if you ever decide to expand your business to here.

Don't worry about that, as dcrockerjr said: edit the patent stuff is more relevant if you are designing the jewelry pieces, like the skull bead. if you are just stringing together others beads and re-selling just the brand is relevant.
It's just arty crafty hobby, it's not global manufactory. So you just need name brand to relate yourself and your creations for customers.

Trinkets
Who is your demographic that you are trying to sell to?
I only ask this b/c when I demo products for people this is what the vendor wants to push towards in helping them get a footing in the market, then they can branch out from there. Usually they do this with a storyline of the people they are trying to cater their product to.
This might help in creating the name.

People you are looking to start off selling your product to. This is how they test to see who likes their product & who your customers are. It is good to know, cause then you start out by getting the word out to those people who are most interested in your product, then branching out from there. These people also help get the word out to others. I hope that makes sense.

Well at the moment I'm selling to my friends and their friends but ill put the bracelets the a watch shop therefore i need a brand.The shop i made a deal have customers of mid/high level income (min 200-300 dollars worth watches).My customers will be probably male because i design bracelets for male mostly.And in my country people think foreign languages are cooler so i think an english name instead of turkish name will make my bracelets cooler from their eyes.I don't know if i responded to your demographic chart :/

-Lapis
I often like to refer to Latin when I think of names. Lapis means stone.
Also I think that the brand name do not must be always meaningful , sometimes it about good sounding, memorability and recognizability. Try to translate some meaningful words for you to Latin, you could come to something great.
P.S. : I want those metal beads, they are awesome, especially helmet !!!! Where Did you buy them?
UPD: Always new thoughts come too late. The offer from next comment reminded me of my list of names when I was trying to invent my brand. Thet some sugestions from it that I didn't use.
-Serenity (from next comment)
-Credo
-Bliss
-Ego
-Stone Alchemy (related to your crafts, my is soap)
-Stone Spell
You could add yours "design" or "concept" if you want.

I'm making bracelets with silver and natural stones , since i sold several i wanted to make a brand , everything was good until i realised i need a good name , at the moment i have time until tomorrow(i have more time now ) and i thought you may help me.
Thank you all who gives me advices i don't really want to thank each one of you (i don't want to spam the discussions part of the site)
Edit : Let me add more information
The name can be in all languages.
My(country also obviously) native language is not english so most of them probably won't get the jokes.
My main costumers are from my country but my plan is to sell worldwide.
You can add "design" or "concept" at the end i like those words :)
