Bracelet of the Day: Loretta Deco - Turquoise & Chocolate

LORETTA DECO BRACELET

• 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Dark Bronze" (457)
• 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Dark Bronze" (457)
• SuperDuo beads "Duet Green Turquoise/Ivory Picasso"
• SuperDuo beads "Chocolate White Luster"
• 4mm druks "Bronze"

The motif in this bracelet is my adaptation of the "Loretta Earrings" pattern by Ewa Kovács which you can find on Pinterest HERE.

I changed a few things to make the motif look more Art Deco and I connected the earring motifs with jump rings to turn them a bracelet. I got the bracelet inspiration from THIS blog post.

The two-toned effect on these SuperDuo Duet beads is very subtle and they look similar to other beads that have a Picasso finish. In my first post HERE about the SuperDuo Duets, I showed you three samples of this colorway with the beads arranged slightly differently in each one. I decided that I liked the combo that I used for today's bracelet the best and below you can see the two other combos that I decided not to use:

• 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Dark Bronze" (457)
• 8/0 seed beads Miyuki "Dark Bronze" (457)
• SuperDuo beads "Duet Green Turquoise/Ivory Picasso"
• SuperDuo beads "Chocolate White Luster"
• 4mm druks "Bronze"
