This started as an earring, honest.
So I had some 11/0 seed beads, which despite the official size are larger and heavier than 11/0 Delica beads. I decided to try and do a pair of earrings with my diamond design anyway.
About six rows in, I weighed the result in my hand and decided that was going to be waaaay too heavy.
Still. Six rows is a fair amount of time investment, and I liked both how the colors went together and the heft of it. So I decided to try freehanding it into a bracelet.
…That took a while, and learning a few new techniques, including plundering some of my beading books for how to pull off a toggle-loop closure made completely out of beads. But I finally finished it!
If anyone wants it, I have it up on Etsy.
Ooo! So pretty! And a decent sized bracelet as well. It’s funny the things that turn up when we least expect it!

The bracelet is gorgeous. Maybe the right hand side could have a little triangle leading out to the tie thingy more smoothly, but I don’t know how that would affect wear.

‘Tis an experiment. I’ll probably do it differently next time I try one!
