Playing with my beads...Bicones - Chrysolite Celsian

CZECH CHRYSOLITE CELSIAN BICONES

I only have 50 of these Czech bicones so I'll have to choose between these three bracelets. I'm pretty sure that I will end up making the "Bow Tie Bracelet" though. I like the "Annalies Bracelet" sample but I'd rather make a narrower bracelet. I do like how well the bicones go with these SuperDuos though so I might make the "Sunantha Bracelet" and extend the length with jump rings if I don't have quite enough bicones. I went with light bronze for all of these samples because it goes nicely with the yellowish color of the bicones. I just happen to have the same Chrysolite Celsian in 4mm fire polished beads for the "Bow Tie Bracelet". I would have preferred to use something opaque but I didn't have anything suitable that matched. The SuperDuos are an unusual color that I bought in a local shop but you can buy them at Red Panda HERE.
