I call this design "A Ribbon Runs Through It"; it reminds me of the decorative laces that were used to fasten a dress bodice, long before zippers were invented. Whatever you think of when you see it, the bold, graphic simplicity of the motif is eye-catching. There is a contrast between the capri blue black beads, adding to the bracelet's visual impact. The bracelet is designed hand-woven (by me) using a technique called 2-drop peyote stitch, where nearly 2,000 small beads are woven, 2 at a time. The resulting bracelet is supple, with a fabric-like drape. It measures 1" (2.5cm) wide 7" (17.8cm) long, including the bronze-tone tube slide clasp. NOTE: All items are shipped from my studio in the south of France, so please allow 2 weeks to reach addresses outside France. I ship quickly -- often the same business day -- but have no control over the speed or efficiency of the postal services here or around the world.
