Jackie, I'll never do a class on these. lol, It took me more than 2 hours to do this one. I can do a pendant in less than 30 minutes, but the classes take about three hours. I figure that a class on this bracelet would take a couple days. ;D
Oh- BTW, you did a great job on that last pendant. Now you gotta get Frank on that cabbing machine so you can get more practice with the wire!!

You did great for your first one.
I taught bracelets with swarovski beads and it took 2 hours per class. With 8 students max.
The next one will not be as hard, or take as long. Just like cabs.
For some reason, bracelets don't sell as good as cab pendants.

O Man, Randy that is beautiful and I love the round stones on the sides. Big and beautiful is in. It cracks me up that "long time to make" for you is only two hours.
WTG Speed!

Working such thing in your mind... your mind must be like a drawing board Stunning. Adrian PS. Wandering how the stone in the right side of the first photo seems to levitate, having a clear gap all around it. It really looks completely detached from the wire around. Amazing! Adrian |

Good job, Randy! That is beautiful. I have been working up the nerve to do a bracelet or even a ring. Just haven't got there yet. Got the stones picked out though!

Thanks y'all ;D Adrian- the round stones on the sides are actually beads. There's a wire that runs through the middle of the bracelet completely around. With the small gold beads, I guess that it gives the illusion of the stones floating.
