| BRILLIANTE BRACELET |
This bracelet has just the right touch of sparkle to brighten up any outfit.

Then you will encase a Chaton with netting with a slight twist that will also make the chaton appear slightly squared off. You won't be able to make just one! We took this picture to highlight the hidden beauty of the netting at the backs of the Rivolis. This is an intermediate class and requires knowledge of peyote.
