Warm and sunny summer days are upon us. This wire crochet bracelet is an eye-catching accessory to your summer wardrobe. Each bead is crochet to colored artistic wire, creating 5 strands of beads, which are braided together. Braiding the strands of beads serves several purposes: 

Purple Delight Swarovski Wire Crochet Bracelet

This trio colored wire crochet Braidlet, is a bold and eye-catching bracelet. Tanzanite, Dark Indigo, and Amethyst colored Swarovski Crystals are crocheted to colored artistic wire. Also, attached is a twisted design, sterling silver toggle clap. 

I used over 75 crystals, which are individually crocheted to wire, creating 3 separate strands. These strands are then braided together. Braiding the strands of beads serves several purposes:

• Strength and durability
• Brilliant glow of color enchanting its beauty
• Comfort - the smooth underside is upon your wrist
• Size - 7.5 in (17.8)

The top picture shows the crystals,  and you can't see the wire. 

The bottom picture shows you the wire but you can't feel the crystals on your skin.

 The underside is smooth and comfortable upon your wrist.

When it comes to the wire I use for my Braidlets. I only use “Artistic Wire”. They manufacture, non-tarnishing silver wire, which is great for designing my Braidlets. Using non-tarnishing silver wire, looks fabulous all the time. No black residue (as with some sterling silver wire) and no need to clean or polish my Braidlets.  Even the colored wire made by Artistic Wire is non-tarnishing.

It measures 18" and fastens with a gold spring ring clasp. Made with gold permanently colored non tarnish copper wire and 4mm Clear AB Swarovski crystals.

Regalia Wire Crochet Beaded Braided Bracelet Braidlets

This one-of-a-kind, wire crochet bracelet is not your typical bracelet, due to the creative way it is made.

Braiding the strands of beads serves several purposes:
• Strength and durability
• Brilliant glow of color enchanting its beauty
• Comfort - because the smooth surface of the Braidlet resets upon the wrist (see picture above)
• Adjustable -  custom fit to your own wrist
• Size - 7.0 to 8.0 in (17.8 to 21.6 cm)

Summer Reminiscing about the OC Fair

Orange County Fair 2008 in Costa Mesa, CA.

In the summer of 2008, I entered 3 of my Braidlets into the OC Fair.  And to my surprise... I won first place, in the 'Other Beading' category.  Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would win a Blue Ribbon. ;o)  All of the jewelry stayed on display for the public to see, until the fair ended. 

A few days after I picked up my Braidlets, my Aunt Sue asked me if I could make another Braidlet, just like this one... But, I decided just to give the winning Braidlet to her!  

Thanks Mom, Aunties and my Husband for your love, encouragement and support over the years.

This Wire Crochet Cuff Bracelet is handmade, using red, white, and blue glass seed beads. I personally crochet each bead individually to colored artistic wire, creating this Made in the USA bracelet.

I specifically design my bracelets (aka Braidlets) to adjust, in size for a personalized fit.  By pushing the beads closer together, the bracelet becomes smaller.  

Holding each end of the toggle clasp and giving slight tug, the bracelet becomes larger.  Furthermore, they are durable, lightweight, and extremely comfortable. 

SIZE: 7.0 to 8.0 in (17.8 to 21.6 cm)

Please leave a comments and tell me what you think about this bracelet.  Thank you and have a great day!
