A bracelet of three loosely braided strips of gold wire on a speckled stone background. The central strip is made of five frame wires around which much finer gold wire is interwoven. One of the other two strips is a pair of frame wires around which finer gold wire is woven. The other strip is a pair of wires where finer gold wire holds many small blue seed beads in place along its length.

The same bracelet as in the prior image, but from behind, so as to show off the wire interlocking clasp.

This started off as an attempt to go a gold-colored version of the copper wire bracelets I've already made. I did the embellishing strips with the idea in my head that adding some extra length would make it possible to do some really good curves and bends and interbraiding. I overdid it, I think- I believe I did an inch and a half more on those than the central strip and wound up having to bend them and braid them a lot more than intended. Not quite the look I was going for, but it's not a bad look?

Anyway, I'm contemplating handing it off in some kind of giveaway once I figure out how those are supposed to work.

Just looking at this picture makes my wrists ache. All those little tiny bends. I'm going to go take Advil now. :)

I think it's pretty amazing.
