Swarovski 6mm bicones are surronded by 8/0 helix beads to give this bracelet the look of a tennis bracelet. I used deep purple and violet bicones and gold helix beads. It is finished with a large gold plated toggle clasp and is 8 1/2 inches in length. I measure my bracelets from the middle of the open toggle to the toggle bar.

I saw this design in a magazine and wanted to try it. But I was not able to figure out the pattern. Then a few months later I found a disc in a drawer when I was looking for something else. And guess what was on it. Beading patterns. So I watched the video and tried again. Success on the third try. It is a little complicated at first but once you have the pattern down it is really fun and comes out nice. I did another one with 4mm bicones. Both are nice. The 6mm really makes a statement and the 4mm in delicate.
