This is such a fun pattern to do that I decided to make some
more. Right-angle weave (RAW) stitch with picots along the side are
wonderfully sparkly. Bullion (French Wire) is used to
attach the clasp.
The first 3 pictures below show how these babies shine
in the sun. The colors of the bracelets on the right are as follows
from top to bottom:
Crystal AB 2X
Hyacinth AB 2X
Mixed Colors
Siam AB 2X
Aquamarine AB
Light Azore
All of the bracelets on the right have either sterling
silver or gold-filled clasps.
Swarovski Crystals and Czech Charlottes - It doesn't get
much better than this. What a combo!
I couldn't resist showing some of the sparkle from direct
sunlight.
As you can see, this method can also be used with Czech firepolished
beads. And down at the bottom of this page, I've even made a
bracelet using the firepolished beads to make a double row bracelet with
embellishment on top, and using copper charlottes. I call this one
Double RAW. The clasp is base metal in a copper color to match the
beads.
This is the one I call Double RAW. Lots of depth in
this one. Double RAW is available at this time too.
Here is a good picture to show the of this bracelet.
Here you can see the copper charlottes too.
