Gothic Butterfly Bracelet

This is my take on the Gothic Butterfly Bracelet from the January 2011 Beadwork magazine. I meet with a group of ladies that are all making this bracelet and it will be interesting to see how different they all look with everyone's bead choices & colors. I thought this bracelet was a little confusing to put together, but it's well worth the effort.

This is a Montana 16mm Swarovski crystal rivoli. I have bezeled it using peyote stitch with 11/0 opaque black Miyuki Delica beads, 15/0 galvaized yellow gold Miyuki rocaille beads, and 4mm opaque black Czech fire-polished rounds.

Thanks for looking!
