Staggered Corduroy with Japanese Overlay Bracelet


Yep, that's a mouthful for a name!  "Staggered Corduroy" is the under structure, or backside, of the bracelet; "Japanese Overlay" refers to the large and small rings combination on the top side of the bracelet, which pale blue fresh water pearls are set in.  So it's really 2 weaves in one!


Don't let the terms backside, topside fool you; they're both beautiful on its own.  Even when done without the beads, the pattern is already mesmerizing!  But setting the pearls softens the chainmaille edginess, adds an undeniable flair.


For closure, I selected one of my original design of hand forged heart shaped S hooks in anodized niobium in blue-green color fade.


As a first go around on this intricate design, I'm pretty happy with the result!  Lots of potentials!!  Very exciting!!!


Complete views of this lovely experiment available in my Picasa web album.
