This weeks featured item is the butterfly bracelet by Fashion Magpie Jewellery.
I tried to keep this bracelet simple and not overly clutter it with pieces. The central focus of the bracelet are, of course, the beautiful shimmering butterflies which I got free in a big batch of beads I ordered.
I wanted soft feminine colours so I picked small 6mm baby pink Swarovski crystal which mirror the shimmering of the butterflies. I also choose to use a deep purple faux pearl which I experimented with wrapping it with silver wire. I used a long head pin which I threaded the bead onto and made a loop on the top as normal but in stead of cutting the excess wire off I wrapped it around the base of the loop then round the bead to wrap the last of the wire around the base of the bead. It looks really elegant and adds to the feel of the bracelet.
The butterfly bracelet is £10 with £3.20 UK postage and packaging.
