Red Bargello Hearts Peyote Cuff (2189)

Description

I have been toying with the idea of translating some traditional bargello patterns into peyote. The December/January Etsy BeadWeavers Challenge theme of "Red" presented the perfect opportunity.

This spectacular (if I do say so myself!) cuff is based on the pomegranate pattern for bargello needlework. It took me several days to draft by hand (bead software has yet to allow for irregular column widths) and several more days to bead. If you buy this, you will be wearing the results of my New Year's Eve ;D

I use Japanese delica beads in dark red with a gold luster, saffron luster, and 24kt gold plate and one-, two-, three-, and four-drop peyote stitches to create this piece. At almost 2.5", this is my widest cuff yet. It will be made a "smidge" over 7" long unless you specify otherwise (see SIZING below).

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PIECE IS "MADE TO ORDER." See my Shop Policies section for more information.

International Shipping Costs: I charge $9 for shipments to other than the US, Canada, and Mexico. This is high, BUT I do refund any excess in actual shipping and packaging costs when I return from the post office. The high initial charge allows me to offer international shipping without figuring out the rates for each country. Thank you for your understanding!
