Southwestern Bead Weave Bracelet

By Kelly Arias March 25, 2017

This beaded, cuff bracelet was made using 11.0 Picasso seed beads in a flat peyote bead weave pattern. It also has three antique copper color wood beads as embellishments. I made two loops for the button clasp, making the bracelet either 7 or 8 inches long, depending on your wrist size. It took about 6 hours to make this bracelet, but is only priced at three hours.

About Kelly Arias

My craft is my passion, and my desire is to create jewelry that makes my customers feel beautiful and special. And I want to share my passion with women who like unique and beautiful pieces of jewelry that reflect who they are. ? My inspiration comes from the vibrant colors and cultures of the Desert Southwest. From the bluest of blues skies to the fiery sunsets, from the sage greens to the desert pinks. I adore the bold exciting colors in the art and architecture of the local Hispanic culture. Las Cruces, New Mexico has been my home since 1997, when I retired from the Air Force. After 15 or so more years in the workforce I decided to embrace early retirement and jump headlong into my craft. I am married with four grown children, a daughter-in-love, a son-in-love, two grandchildren, and two God-children. View all posts by Kelly Arias
