Pattern as well as bead size and shape create a fascinating (and sexy) ripple texture that you can see and feel. The different size and shaped beads used in this pattern result in a wonderful undulating 3-d surface. The piece can be worn with either the convex or the concave side on the outside, resulting in very different looks.
This slinky, beadwoven bracelet is a joy to wear. While it is a little heavier than most of my pieces, it still won't get in the way of your computer work, your dinner, your shopping, your dancing.
This bracelet is crafted in peyote stitch using Japanese Toho Aikos (the most expensive and precise cylinder beads on the market) and triangle beads in black lined crystal. It is approximately 1.3" wide and 6.8" long, with a closure that adds another 0.5" to the length of the clasped cuff, providing a very snug fit on a 7.25" wrist and a very comfortable fit on a 7" wrist.
Full disclosure: The Ripples cuffs beaded with Toho Treaures or Aikos beads are slightly less dramatically "rippled" than those beaded with Miyuki delica beads, but, as the photographs show, they still have a lot of surface pattern to them.
