Viridian Peacock Cuff Bracelet Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art ADB-008

Bead a jewel-toned cuff with Viridian, a bead embroidery bracelet kit by Abris Art — flowing peacock-feather paisleys in deep teal, emerald and gold, studded with multicoloured crystals. Worked in 26 colours of Preciosa Ornela Czech seed beads, it shimmers like real plumage.

A little stitcher's folklore: in India the peacock is a sign of grace and good fortune, and in old Europe its feather's "eye" was believed to watch over and protect whoever carried it. Stitchers say a peacock worn on the wrist keeps a watchful eye out for you — and makes sure you're noticed.

Why this kit: if you love rich colour and bold jewellery, this cuff is the one — every row adds more shimmer. It's a satisfying project for beaders with some experience, and the result is truly one of a kind. A stunning gift for anyone who loves peacock blues and greens.

Kit includes: art canvas with the full-colour design printed on it, about 1,765 Preciosa Czech glass beads in 26 colours, Preciosa No. 13 microbeads in 5 colours, beading needles and a microbead needle, beading thread, decorative glass stones and accents (rondelles, leaf stones, drops, bicones and half-round stones), bracelet findings (2 end clamps, a hook, 2 rings and an extension chain), and step-by-step illustrated instructions for the embroidery and finishing.

Each bead is sewn onto its colour-marked spot on the printed canvas. Then add the glass stones, cut the band out along the outline and attach the clamps, hook and chain from the kit to finish the cuff, following the illustrated instructions.

Finished size: 15.4×5.7 cm (6.06×2.24 in). A striking handmade accessory and a memorable gift for jewellery lovers.
