The Beloved: A Wrap-style Bracelet Kit

©2016 by Cynthia Rutledge

My inspiration for The Beloved: A Wrap-style Bracelet is a combination of design details from the two pieces of jewelry that have been of great interest to me in this painting. A wrap-style bracelet with an interesting lacing technique is the background for the embellishments. The center component consists of a beautiful puffed ring that "swirls" on a pearl stem. The second set of components has a trillion CZ as the center with a puffy bezel to accent the shape. The last components are 10mm CZ's with a simple bezel. All of the components are sewn to the wrap bracelet, which ends with an oval CZ button.
