Anything similar to a string, thread, cord, etc, I know can be utilized in weaving on a loom, as a warp. In this case, I worked with 'Cupchain'.
Below is a picture of the cupchain I incorporated. This is a Vintage piece, brass metal with an opal stone center. Cupchain comes in many different stones, glass, shapes and metals.
I started out knowing the cupchain was to be a part of this cuff, but I also wanted to include more movement. Therefore, I decided on other bead pairings to create more interest. This included various sized Glass Seed Beads, in an opalescent finish, the Satin line of Delicas and Swarovski Crystals in different shapes and sizes, but matching the cupchain stone.
Erin I LOVE this closure! It fills the gap between the crunch clasps so beautifully. One of the things I've never been crazy about with the crunch clasps, especially on wider cuffs, is the jump from wide to narrow with just a little chain and clasp between the ends. And this alleviates that in a lovely way. I am loving the mixed media feel of the pieces you have been doing!
Gorgeous bracelet!

I can see that this covers the concept of something old, something new, something beaded, something blue. Very romantic - wonderful piece for a bride.

Yummy! Very romantic, but with an edge (or several edges, if I see correctly).
