Bridal Beauty

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 :)

  2. Got 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.
