group1sElegant and pretty is the best description for this bracelet. The flower medallion is created with a circular peyote stitch and is created by using three different sizes of seed beads. The bracelet can be stitched as a single or double row with a beautiful button for a closure. These circular peyote medallions reminded me of the “Grandmother’s Garden” quilt block with yo yos stitched in floral seed sacks or vintage cottons.
