I have no finished pieces right now, as I have hit a slow period in my crafting progress. However, I am never without something exciting in the works! I have a few pieces that are almost done or still in the middle of production. This two-tone bracelet is "almost done."
"But looks finished to me," you might say.
It is indeed finished enough to be wearable, so, in a way, you are right. I had hoped that at this point it WOULD be done. However, I am not at all satisfied with its overall form. Do you see how it makes a sort of teardrop shape? I would hope from a simple design like this that it would be more circular when laying on a flat surface.
On a larger wrist, this may not matter much. But on a smaller wrist (like mine), it lies awkwardly, weighed down by the clasp.
I am not sure of the answer to this problem. Should I attach some charms along the length of the chain? Should I get some different end caps? Should I change the design entirely?
For now, I am at a standstill. Feel free to make suggestions in comments, even if you are not an expert jewelry maker. I will update you as soon as something happens on this front!
I always love it when you add beads to the bracelet part, or when you have pretty pearl charms on the ends :)
