Commission Piece: Forrester Blue Pearl Bracelet

Another commission! This is the work in progress for a pearl bracelet based on the colours on the Forrester Clan. The colours are black, blue, green and red however for this piece the red is replaced with purple to match the outfit. 

 Starting out- organised for a while

 Forrester Clan ribbon and the beads:
pearls in various sizes and lots of
Swarovski 4mm bicone beads

 The Greens

 Blue crystals and the pearls

The 4 pearl strands now made in
4, 6, 8 and 10mm blue pearls

 and now to make the crystal strands.
the first one in blue and greens

 and the second strand with blue and purples

 Both strands together. I love all these colours-
this would make a lovely bracelet on it's own

 All the elements combined-
just need to get the ribbon now

I will take some more photos when I've got the ribbon but I'm really happy with how it's turned out. Hopefully the buyer will be too

Commissioned Rainbow Bracelet

I have been commissioned to make a bracelet from an existing customer. It is to be as close to the full colour spectrum as I can manage and made from Swarovski Crystals so it really sparkles and shines
