Silken Square Bracelet in Right Angle Weave
This delicate silken square bracelet, made with Swarovski crystals and pearls, is the gentlest of luxuries. It has a refined air of elegance and it feels like silken fabric. It drapes luxuriously onto your wrist, clinging on and moving with you as it charms all onlookers with its gentle and subtle sparkle and charm.
This bracelet is born as part of my early RAW (Right Angle Weave) love affair. Right angle weaving produces the most amazing, surprising, and luxurious of outcomes. When worked in combination with the incomparable Swarovski beads, it is a delicacy not to be missed.
Size: is quite giving as it is elastic. Recommended for a snug 5¾ – 6 inches around wrist (small).
Construction Notes on the Silken Square Bracelet
Photo above clearly shows the kinds of Swarovski crystal and pearl beads used.
Center square is made first and finished off. Non-elastic beading thread is used. Center square should be flexible and drapable when finished. It is worked in RAW from the center outwards.
