Another wrist cuff that will be gifted to another dear friend.
The folkloric fabric was a gift from the awesome Patricia (Zencrafting), the lining was bought in Paris, and the button (that you can't see) was a gift from the awesome Joanie. The elastic cord was salvaged. I only re-embroidered some of the birds' details.
I am really enjoying making wrist cuffs these days, can you tell ?! LOL And I have a last one to show, but after that my friend will have gotten it.

Hand sewn, hand beaded textile cuff.
Vintage lace, Swarovski bicones, crochet flower, brass filigrees, crystals and beads...
Jewellery was a big part of Elizabethan Tudor fashion, especially for those who were rich and important. It showed both their wealth and status. Jewellery was also used to convey political messages, display religious beliefs and to remind people of friends and relatives who have died. Jewellery in Tudor times was not widespread and is essentially worn by the upper classes and those who could afford such finery.
Tudor bracelets tended to be made out of silver or gold and decorated with precious stones. Strands of pearls could also be wrapped around the wrist. The Elizabethan cuff is reminiscent of bracelets of the era. A wide cuff - elaborate, luxurious and intricately woven. A central panel of bezelled large beads form a bold focal point to the cuff. Eminently suited to the delicate wrists of the Elizabethan Tudor lady of the upper classes.
This stunning bracelet is crocheted with silver wire and embellished with light gold matte Czech fire-polished multicut glass beads, cream and gold Swarovski pearls. The cuff is complemented by a sterling silver magnetic sliding clasp.
It measures 2” in width and 6 ½” in length (to fit a 6” wrist).

Melanie Muir meets Carol Simmons!!
My first cuff using Melanie's Rock Cuff tutorial using metallic mokume gane sheets made in Carol's class at Polydays 2012 recently. Can't see the gorgeous gleam of the metallic Premo in this photo but it has buffed up to a lovely shine!
Polymer clay Abalone cuff. Veneered crackles ranging from gold, green, turquoise to burgundy and magenta....I think I'm in the mood for Fall
This deliciously rich brown, funky, yet elegant, cuff was bead-embroidered around three beautiful Swarovski Jet Nut Button Rivolis. The buttons are surrounded by Bronze-lined Crystal and Bronze Japanese seed beads and Deep Brown Swarovski pearls. This centrepiece is attached to the Ultrasuede-covered brass cuff which is trimmed and embellished with the Japanese seed beads.
The centre piece measures 4” by 2” (c. 10 x 5 cm), the cuff itself is 2” (c. 5 cm) wide and fits all sizes.
Polymer clay cabochons made by Sharon Solly. Surrounded with seed and glass beads on UltraSuede backing. Backed with another strip of UltraSuede and joined with gold seeds and gold lined tiny crystal drop beads.
Hand knitted cuff, embellished with coral lace, Swarovski Padparadscha bicones, sequins and seed beads...
This thin bracelet only has the illusion of delicate lacy-ness (the decorative portion is "cut out" and see through)...because it's made with Kato, it is super strong...
Edited to add...I wore this bracelet today, and was wondering how 'wearable' it would be with it's "crown", lol. It never really got in the way although I did smack it a few times right on the top, thinnest portion...but it held up! I was really pleased....again, it's that tough Kato clay!
As seen in an email from eternity collars.
These appear to be virtually identical to the Cartier replicas that I bought a while back, which is not a bad thing.
However, I would be more impressed if, for that money, you got recessed screw heads, with a more difficult to open driver type. It's not really locked on if she can open it with the file on her nail clippers.
For the bracelets that I bought, I replaced the round head screws with countersunk Phillips head screws. But then, she spends most of her time locked in her tiffany bracelet.
This is the second in my 'Not Bead Embroidery' series.
Made with new Spike beads, Czech Pearls, Swarovski Crystals, Czech Roses Montees and Toho Seed Beads.
