Can I let you know a secret?
Typically, jewellery designs that look beautiful in pictures are extremely uncomfortable to put on!
Take these lampwork beads, for example. A complete bracelet composed of these glowing colours LOOKS nice… in a photograph.
However the actuality is {that a} bracelet of that kind is heavy, and lumpy.
Which is what led me to create this bracelet design.
The gorgeous beads keep out of the best way on high your wrist, and a clean wire coil retains them in place, and lets the underside of your wrist be lump free.
Not solely that, nevertheless it weighs half as a lot!
The inclusion of wire wrapping and the chance for blended metals within the design is one other bonus.
You don’t have to make use of glass beads on this design, btw, any beads with a 1.5mm+ gap, reminiscent of polymer clay, stone, ceramic, and so on. will work.
