Seed Beads combined with Swarovski Crystals, or polymer, or just about anything else that can be embellished with the wonderful colors, textures, and various effects of the often underrated, but gloriously admired Seed Beaded hand work!

5 The ornamentation area of the bracelet fully covers the tops and sides of the wrist. The back of the bracelet is smooth with a big fat Swarovski Crystal button closure.

6 My first Peyote Beaded Bracelet with Ornamental Surface Treatment in Petal Fresh water Pearls, crystals, glass, daggers, and vintage components left over from the glamorous days of fancy evening wear. The glowing pressed glass leaves are new old factory stock vintage rainbow glass that was used years ago, sewn onto evening gowns for ornamentation!

10 A seed bead bezel was created around a large Swarovski Crystal, then topaz crystals, bronze crystals, and gold seed beads of glass were woven to create the surround! This is an experimental prototype. I learned this technique from a book titled "Creating Crystal Jewelry with Swarovski" by Laura McCabe.
