This copper bracelet is inspired by friendship bracelets of the past. This bracelet however will not tatter, or fray through the summer. I have designed a strong, long lasting piece to symobolize everlasting friendship. An array of pink, heather purple, honey brown and neon orange seed beads are hand set to create the intricate design in this piece. Multiples of this design are available.
First I connect the copper settings to a bracelet base.
Then I hand antique the entire bracelet.
I then fill the setting with a rusty red square carnelian stone. Around the stone I lay different colors of seed beads; placing each bead by hand in a v shaped pattern.
The bottom of each bead setting is brightened with a single neon orange seed bead.
