Dazzling Bracelet
About this design:
Well I bought these triangle like seed beads with this design in mind. However, I did not have the clasp until the last minutes so it really didn't fit into my original design. Now that it is done I love the way it looks but it is too big!! The addition of the big clasp made it too big...bummer

Judith Ann Boyer says:This piece is adorable!! It looks like a deep garnet color? Love it, but I hate when I finish a piece and it is not the right size!! Uhhh, I can relate

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Caryn, this is such a beautiful bracelet — love the color and the clasp is fantastic!
Sigh. I often have this same problem, though mine tend to end up too small sometimes. Too big, too small — I just need to aim for something in the middle! LOL

Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Caryn, I love the design! The cones and clasp go really well together, and finish this off nicely. What a bummer it is too big! I can totally relate – I have a tendency to design too big too – then I also know I can’t keep the piece – maybe that’s just as well? Better to sell it to someone who can wear it, and try again!

Kath-leen says:Jade, this is a stunning bracelet. I always hate to re-do anything, but I think I would in this case because it would kill me not to be able to wear it – Beautiful!!!
