Silver Pearls Bracelet - "Debbie"

You have probably seen similar weaved bracelets like this before. I have done it differently by netting it in a horizontal manner and used 4mm beads instead of seed beads. These beautiful silver pearls were bought from Debbie (CrysallisGems). I used about 4.5 strands for this 8" cuff. The bead holes are uniform but I would suggest using Size 13 needle to bead instead of Size 12 needle as the former is finer. I broke 10 needles altogether trying to squeeze threads into the bead hole while weaving the needle in and out of the pearls.

Although the pearls are labelled silver, it has a nice mauve metallic sheen on its surface, which made them very unique. I have embellished the bracelet with Czech glass seed beads in faceted white opal. 

The use of these two materials is not overpowering, so you can wear the bracelet as an everyday accessory, adding a tiny glimpse of glamour to your outfit!
