Bracelet of the Day: Diamond Band - Lila Gold Luster

DIAMOND BAND

• 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Dark Bronze" (457)
• 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Dark Bronze" (457)
• 6mm 2-hole cabochons "Chalk White Lila Gold Luster"
• Kheops par Puca "Metallic Matte Dark Plum"
• MiniDuo beads "White Senegal Brown Purple"

I tweaked this cute bracelet a little but it only looks slightly different than the original design. The only obvious difference is that I omitted the seed beads between the pairs of Kheops beads. They made the bracelet longer than I wanted mine to be and I had some trouble keeping them looking tidy. What's not so obvious is that I used a different method for adding the seed bead netting. I altered the path to make it a little more stable and to get sharper points by creating picots then adding the netting beads on either side of them.
