Pearl Bangle

Circular Herringbone stitch gathers Toho Triangle beads together points-in like the slices of a pizza pie.

The dimpled flat surfaces exposed on the outside of the beadwork create a supple, textured cord effect ¼ inches wide. Add a few creamy pearls and a bit of gold to create an elegant bangle with substance.

Materials needed to make an 8 inch bracelet:
Please note that it is necessary to make the bracelet approximately ½ inch longer than usual to accommodate the thickness of the pearl clusters.
