Like a red rose in the snow, the Aiglantine wedding bracelet combines the petal softness of burgundy silk ribbons with the intricacy of sparkling, snowflake-inspired lace motifs, for a look perfect for a winter bride...As seen in the March/April 2012 issue of Bridal Guide Magazine and the Spring/Summer 2012 Issue of WellWed/Vermont Vows Magazines!

● Design and Techniques ●
....................................................................
I've created the textile motifs entirely by hand, using my original patterns and a signature blend of lacemaking, crochet and bead embroidery. Everything is hand-sewn and embroidered--never glued--for heirloom quality finishing.
Five intricately-wrought lace medallions grace the center of the bracelet. The motifs were each created using real silver embroidery threads--like those used in the embroideries of the Rococo Era--and the tiniest of crochet hooks. Large off white freshwater pearls and shining quartz crystal stones are woven through out the central lace motif. A six-petalled lace flower rests in the center, ringed with sparkling rhinestones. The lace motifs are outlined in hundreds of tiny vintage seed beads.
The bracelet fastens with luxurious, 100% silk ribbon ties in a rich burgundy red. The ribbons are extra long to allow for versatility in how the design can be worn--wrap them once for an extra large bow, twice for a layered effect, or even wear the design as a choker or head band.
