I call this design "A Ribbon Runs Through It"; it reminds me of the decorative laces that were used to fasten a dress's bodice, long before zippers were invented. Whatever you think of when you see it, the bold, graphic simplicity of the motif is eye-catching. The "ribbons" are made with a bead mix called "Arabian Night", a mix of shiny & matte blue, gold, & bronze beads, which really stands out on the white background. In the last photo above you can see the bracelet with the sun shining through it, highlighting the variety of beads in the mix.

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 rose gold-tone tube slide clasp.
