Not-so-delicate Delica Ring - Silver Bling

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 12:57:57 -0500

$14.00
We get asked a craft fairs how comfortable these rings are. We always tell people to try them on to see for themselves. However, we all have at least one in our personal collections, so we have no problems vocalizing our own opinions too:

"They are SO comfortable"
"They're the only rings I can wear at work"
"They're flexible, and feel like they're moving right along with your finger."

After trying them on most people end up getting two. A second for themselves, or maybe one to give to a friend. That says a lot for us.

This ring is made from silver-lined Japanese Delica beads which have great sparkle. The pattern used is a gourd (or peyote stitch) over 8 rows.

All sizes available. Just let us know what size you want when you place your order.

These rings can be custom made in a variety of patterns, colours, and sizes. Please convo us if you want something different!

So - I started making my own with more fashionable, fun fabrics. They do the same job but look good. I'm a firm believer in cyclechic.

This cuff is made from cute blue/brown/green patterned fabric. It's lined with a matching electric blue fabric, for sass. A solid strip of velcro makes sure it fits most ankle sizes and stays put. (This cuff is on the smaller size and may not fit those with larger legs - see dimensions.)
