I think I have enjoyed this special order more than almost any i have done, and that's saying a lot :)The bride's request was to create 8 bracelets, similar to the one at the bottom of the picture, for her wedding party.
Since the base for the bottom bracelet was vintage, i needed to search for similar alternatives that i could get in multiples.
I honestly think that the two different frame/bases that I chose are even prettier than the original bracelet, and am thrilled with how they turned out. I varied the clasps slightly as well, choosing a similar oval clasp but with filigree instead of the rhinestone for some of them.
They are 1 step from being complete, and I will be doing that step-sealing with Ren Wax- today, so that they can be on their way to the bride by Saturday.
I may do a tutorial for these at a future date, as they would make awesome gifts, and the center charm could be varied, i think, and the results still be beautiful and unique :)

Beautiful job, Kristen. I'm sure she'll be delighted.
ReplyDeleteGot them in the mail yesterday and they look awesome. I'm so excited to give them to my bridesmaids at the rehearsal dinner. Will try to get a pic of them wearing them for you.
