Ruby Blue Bead Woven Bracelet

Description

This openwork beadwoven bracelet reminds me of the lace made by my son's great-grandmother. Soft and supple the openwork of the stitching allows the light to catch the facets of the 3-cut seed beads.

Sizing: Fits a 6-1/2 inch (16.5 cm) wrist and is 1-1/4" inches (3.2 cm) wide.

I have used size 12/0 3-cut seed beads in ruby-lined transparent aqua and tiny size 15/0 silver-lined aqua beads. Woven down the center of the bracelet are 18 3mm Swarovski ruby crystal bicones. The antique style toggle clasp is silver plated and accented with a Tierra Cast silver drop bead and a 4mm Swarovski ruby crystal bicone.

I am a beadweaver, and I truly enjoy weaving small beads one-by-one ... crazy huh!! Beadweaving is a true labor of love as each piece takes many many hours (and sometimes days!) to complete. You will find that my stitching is very precise, and there are no exposed threads or missing beads. Well made bead woven jewelry can be very durable as evidenced by highly-valued vintage beadwork available in the antiques market. Give your beadwoven jewelry the same care you give to your other fine jewelry.

Thank you for visiting Beads and Weaves!
