Renaissance Lace Bracelet Kit

©2014 by Cynthia Rutledge

Inspired by the beautiful lace trims, seen on women's gowns of the 14th through the 17th century, Renaissance Lace Bracelet evokes a lace-like style, using a right angle weave variation that I call lattice weave. Pearl cabochon bezels are linked to each other with seed beads, creating the center of the bracelet. Two Lattice Weave strips, made with seed beads, fire polish beads and crystals are zippered along the edges of the pearl cabochon bezels and show off what Lattice Weave can do in this beautiful bracelet Two pearl cabochon beaded buttons add the finishing touches to this lacey design. The combination is striking!
