Description

This is my 9th and final entry to the 2010 Create-Your-Style Swarovski Comp, Open Division. I have a total of 9 entries in this competition 5 in the Creative Challenge and 4 in the Open Division.  The cuff is composed entirely of Swarovski crystal components, no seed beads were used in the construction of this cuff.  The cuff took hours and hours of work, reworking the design and overcoming design constraints, needle and thread snaps, but only 1 popped bicone (thankfully).  The cuff moulds beautifully to your wrist and is comfy, but you can feel the weight of the crystal elements.  15x, Article 4102 - 18mmx13mm, 1x  Article 1201 27mm and lots of 2mm rounds, 3mm bicones a single 8mm round and a wire wrapped buttefly used as the clasp.  Colours used are: Erenite, Emerald, Siam, Pacific Opal, Morion AB2x, Erenite AB2x, Violet, Diorion (vintage stone), Colorado Topaz, Fern, Aquamarine, Light Peach, Jet, Chrysolite, Indocolite, Rose, Padparadscha, Silk, Vitrail Medium, Violet Opal, Tanzanite, Montana, Blue Capri, Fuschia and Silver Shade.
