Triple Wrap Beaded Marigold Leather Greek BOHO Abstract Bracelet
Details
Is it Bohemian bourgeois or BOBO? Is it just bohemian or BOHO? These are the trendy terms for today's clothing and jewelry styles. I like to say that my new bracelet design is definitely BOHO-chic. Rustic in it's use of leather yet modern in the abstract basket-weave design of the beads. BOHO-chic is a style of fashion drawing on various bohemian and hippie influences The art of multiple wraps is on point with the still popular trend of layering your jewelry. I have named this "Afternoon in Meteora". See the inspiration section below for my inspiration in designing this particular bracelet.
To create this wonderful triple-wrapped bracelet I began by selecting an earthy marigold shaded leather. Gold C-Lon beading thread was used to create the macrame square knots and continued on to hand-weave in all of the seed beads. I chose to use only high-quality Japanese glass seed beads by Miyuki and TOHO. The colors range from opaque light beige to opaque matte red pepper to dark copper to silver-lined gold AB. The color scheme is earthy yet has a lightness to it. The bracelet is finished off with more macrame square knots. The button I selected for the closure is a gold-plated ancient Greek coin pewter button featuring a likeness of Alexander the Great. Gold-plated filigree tubes were added on the leather tails.
This bracelet is 22.5 inches or approximately 571 mm in length from button shank to the button hole knot and is made to wrap around your wrist three times. The width is approximately 1/2 inch or 12 mm in width per row. This is for an average 7 to 7.5 inch or 178 to 190 mm wrist. When measuring for bracelets, measure tightly where your wrist is broadest. Measure your wrist with a flexible, soft tape measure just below the wrist bone (below the wrist bone is the area between your hand and the wrist bone). This is your actual wrist size, not your bracelet size. Add approx. ¼ inches up to 1 inch (½ inch is average) to your actual wrist size, this is your approximate bracelet size. The more you add to your wrist size the more your bracelet will hang lower to your hand. These bracelets cannot be re-sized. Mix and match your bracelets and stack them according to today's fashion style trends.

Note: Please be aware that not all monitors will show colors exactly the same. The colors may appear lighter or darker based on the type of monitor you have. As I edit my photos I ensure they are as exact as they can be to my jewelry pieces. Natural and artificial lighting can enhance or diffuse shades of stones and crystals as you wear them. I also use different backgrounds in my photos so that you can see some of the color variance. Enjoy!
