Sometimes inspiration comes out of necessity. Just sayin'....
These peyote bangles came out of my need to continue beading while I was recuperating from a pinched nerve in my neck several years ago. I could bead. What I couldn't do was follow a pattern.
The real inspiration for my Ribbed Peyote Cuffs is another kind of cuff, however - the kind you find on your favorite knit sweaters. I've always loved the texture of ribbing and, finally, I have found a way to make it without getting out the knitting needles and yarn! Even better, you can wear these any time of year. This bangle has the added surprise of a trellis of firepolish bead embellishment, giving it extra texture.
While this bangle is heavier than many of my pieces, it is still extremely comfortable. The style is extremely versatile: perfect with jeans, this would also provide the perfect splash of color for a dressier outfit.
The ribbed bangle base is crafted in peyote stitch using Japanese round seed buying beads in nickel and Czech round seed beads in etched aluminum silver. It is further embellished with tiny nickel seed beads and 4mm firepolish beads in etched crystal chrome.
It is approximately 0.75" wide and a diameter of about 2.6". It has a little give.
SIZING
While I cannot resize the bangle in the photograph, I can make one to fit you. Please measure your hand at its widest point when its held the way you would to slip a bangle over it. Let me have that measurement in the Notes to Seller. I will make your bangle to the next largest size allowed by the bead counts for this design (approximately 0.4" increments, in this case).
