Golden Ornament Paisley Cuff Bracelet Bead Embroidery Kit by Abris Art ADB-009

Bead a rich, regal cuff with Golden Ornament, a bead embroidery bracelet kit by Abris Art — a burgundy and black band swirling with gold paisley scrolls and set with multicoloured crystals, like a piece of antique brocade. Worked in 16 colours of Preciosa Ornela Czech glass beads.

A little stitcher's folklore: the paisley shape comes from ancient Persian designs and was said to stand for life, growth and good fortune, and gold on the wrist has always meant prosperity. Stitchers say a golden paisley cuff keeps good fortune close at hand.

Why this kit: if you love opulent, vintage-style jewellery, this cuff is a real treasure. It's a rewarding project for beaders with some experience. A stunning gift for anyone who loves rich colours.

Kit includes: art canvas with the full-colour design printed on it, about 1,456 Preciosa Czech glass beads in 16 colours, Preciosa No. 13 microbeads in 4 colours, beading needles and a microbead needle, beading thread, decorative glass stones and accents (rondelles, leaf stones, drops, half-round stones and a triangle stone), 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: 15.6×5.3 cm (6.14×2.09 in). A regal handmade bracelet and a memorable gift.
