Dante's Circlet has a square shaped peyote stitch base, with a netted bezel, shows off the facets of the beautiful cushion cut CZ, taking center stage on this classic bangle.

For weight and stability, a brass cuff blank is used as the support system for this lovely bangle, offering the best of both worlds of a bangle and a bracelet, achieved by a hidden opening allowing the bangle size to be a custom fit.

An added edge stitch, an elegant edging and a keeper for the strap, all come together for a bangle design worthy of a queen!

NOTE: This instruction sheet contains step-by-step instructions.
