Geometric Metallic- New Range


I've finally finished the first piece in my new range. I've called it Geometric Metallics although this doesn't exactly roll off the tongue... This is a cuff bracelet and is made with silver, gold, white and red Swarovski crystals. The clasp is made of one half gold and one half silver magnetic sliding clasp. I've used contrasting red thread which you can see clearly with the white beads. There are over 600 bicone beads and over 4m of thread in this piece. phew. that was a lot of potential knots...

Commissioned Piece : Super Sparkle Bracelet

I've just had a commission for a simple and super sparkly bracelet with Clear Crystal AB bicone beads. I thought I'd sit out in the sun today while I was beading. It was all rather dazzling!

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

How the bracelet looks in daylight
(ignore the bike tyre in the corner)

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
