Evolution

by: Dwyn Tomlinson

Evolution - this bracelet just kept evolving. You can decide for yourself whether you like the final stage, or would prefer to make one of the "less evolved" states for yourself.

There are actually two chains in this bracelet - a small, bright copper chain threaded through the links of the large, antiqued copper chain. (See picture with yellow arrows.) Without dangles, and for the first layer of beads - it was quite pretty. But after that - it pretty much got obscured - so you might want to leave it out if you are going for the full enchilada!

I had to use the fine headpins to attach that fine chain, as none of the jumprings were thin enough. I just did a wrapped loop at the end of the chain, to fit into the jumprings.

I used some copper seedbeads to make the headpins more of an accent on the Amethyst nuggets (magenta arrow) - but again, these are optional. Or, you could use them on all the dangles!

Bracelet fits about 6.75 inches - so it's a little small for some people. You might want to go a little longer - in which case, you'll use more dangles. (There were 11 big round links to fill up.)

Each round link has two emerald beads and two copper beads, and the amethyst beads are on every other link.

(And, if you'd rather buy the original - I listed it in my etsy shop - dwynsjools.etsy.com)
