This Sapphire Sparkle Bracelet, designed by Allie Buchman, co-founder of Potomac Beads (www.potomacbeads.com), shimmers with elegance and movement. This beautiful sparkling 7-inch bracelet was made using 9 ss 39 Potomac Crystal Chatons, 36 3x5 mm Potomac Crystal Teadrops, approximately 2 grams of size 11 Miyuki Delica Beads, approximately 2 grams of size 11 Auki Seed Beads, and Claspgarten 11 mm Pearl Shell Box Push Clasp.
The pattern uses intricately beaded components centered around brilliant 8 mm chatons. The mix of Delicas, seed beads, crystal drops, and right-angle weave and netting techniques creates bezel-wrapped units that connect seamlessly into a flexible, eye-catching design.
