The "Lizzie" Bracelet

A favorite project...or actually the result is a favorite! This bracelet really came together after I received the labradorite focal. It is a stunning bead and definitely inspired the palette of this bracelet.

Elements include:

The "frill" is comprised of baby white freshwater pearls, faceted London blue topaz and labradorite rondelles and petite labradorite onion cut beads...ALL individually double wrapped on vermeil head pins

That portion is strung on beading wire. I used faceted London blue topaz nuggets. After that I selected saltwater Akoya pearls (nearly 9mm in size) and pairs of 7mm faceted labradorite rondelles.

It was inspired by one of my favorite period movies...ahh...despite my willingness to admit it, I may just be a hopeless romantic!
