Description This is the 4th in this series of bead embroidered filigree cuffs -- each one is done in different colors, and showcases a unique selection of vintage stones and beads. While the bracelets are obviously of the same family, each has its own distinct character.

It's worked around a large vintage brass filigree. It's been embellished with vintage glass cabochons and Swarovski crystals. The bead embroidery is done with Japanese glass seed beads in shades of matte peacock green, matte olive-y bronze and matte purples. The cuff makes use of negative space, and allows you to see beautiful periwinkle ultrasuede and bronze leather peeking through.

It measures about 6" wide by 2.5" high at its peak. It is backed with soft periwinkle colored ultrasuede for maximum comfort., and will flex to fit most wrists.

Thanks! I think I have one more of these old filigrees left, so (hopefully soon) I can make one more in this series of cuffs.

LOL! Thank you -- I'm liking this one too. Feeling a little bit sad, as I am almost out of these filigrees so I will not be able to explore this series too much longer.

On the plus side, I have been on a real cuff kick lately. None of the others are quite as elaborate as this one, but I'm having fun with them
