Few days back I thought of bringing in a blingy cuff into my wardrobe.
I confess that I do have one from original U.K. Marks and Spencer gifted to me by one of my friends, but that is just one blingy one that I have. It is made in metal; so I was looking for another option in the material. Frankly speaking, mentioning metal is just a small excuse; as a girl I have the right to have as many bracelets in my wardrobe as I can afford.
I know the last reason is enough, but I have one medical reason too. I am hyper-allergic to almost every metal except the expensive ones, so I thought of getting something in fiber as an organic option.
I checked out few jewellery stores online as well as offline, but did not find anything unique. All the stuff was common and seen somewhere kind of stuff.
That is when I took the decision of making it myself. I am pretty good with crochet and today I do not shy away from admitting that I am better than average with my crocheting skills.
Anyway, coming back to my creation of a cuff, I zeroed in for the one made with the intricate broomstick lace technique.
I used the glossy fiber, which is little heavy and has elements of bling in gold as well as silver in the form of sequins and threads.It therefore will embellish almost any outfit. For testing, I wore it with a dress in earthy tones and gold sandals. I have attached the pictures for reference.
It must have taken about 2 hours to finish, and in the end I adorned it with a cute ladybird motif button. The button also acted useful as an ending to hold the cuff tight on my wrist.
Moreover, it is the broomstick crochet technique; therefore, the cuff has hollows as a design.
Again, just like the ladybird, these hollows not only look beautiful but also serve as a medium to adjust the fit of the cuff on almost any wrist size, except probably that of Bappi Da. Though jokes apart, but since he is a great fan of bling; you never know he might develop a fancy for this one. Only in that scenario, I might have to increase the size of hollows in my bracelet. LOL
Haha Thanks for reading…
