Bracelet of the Day: Canterbury - Rose Gold

CANTERBURY BRACELET
  • 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Metallic Light Bronze" (11-457L)
  • 11/0 seed beads Miyuki "Duracoat Light Golden Bronze" (D4204)
  • 4mm fire polished beads "Luster Rose Gold Topaz"
  • 6mm fire polished beads "Luster Rose Gold Topaz"

The "Light Golden Bronze" seed beads were added as an accent color between the motifs. For some reason I only took one photo of this bracelet before sending it as a gift last Christmas. I usually try to get a shot of each of my bracelets lying flat so that the pattern can be seen more clearly. The upright version is just the "glamour shot". In any case, I've already posted a few other Canterbury bracelets and I didn't change anything on this one other than adding the accent color.

You can buy Nancy Peterson's pattern HERE.

UPDATE 3/9/2021: Nancy is no longer selling her beading patterns but she has graciously allowed me to post her "Canterbury Bracelet" pattern on my blog as a free download. To download a copy, please visit THIS post.

  1. Oh, Linda! You have outdone yourself with this one! The colors are just glorious! I am working on another Canterbury bracelet today, omitting the final row of embellishment. I agree that it is so much prettier this way!

    1. Thanks, Jeanie. I think that with the extra embellishment, there are way too many beads. The pretty design stands out more without it.
