prayer wheel bracelet in teal, lilacblue and fuchsia

I named this bracelet for the resemblance of its segments to the prayer wheels used by Buddhists, which is fitting considering how meditative and centering creating them is for me.

 

The segments are created from Japanese glass seed beads with a needle and thread, one bead at a time, using a handweaving technique called "peyote stitch". Czech firepolished glass beads, sterling silver beadcaps, and a sterling silver trigger clasp complete the bracelet, which is strung on four strands of parachute cord.

 

Measurements: 8"/20.5 cm
