The inspiration for this special bangle was my admiration for the way gold and silver jewelry accommodates gemstones in little bezels. I love crystals and believe they deserve a worthy bezel as well. Encasing glittering crystals with shiny silver thread is the perfect solution! After making this bracelet, you may want to try your hand at the matching Glamour Necklace (pages 68-72).
