Beaded jewelry

"Wide Ndebele Cuff" features a bracelet done in Ndebele stitch using size 8 seed beads and size 4 squares. The focal bead is by Marcia Kmack, Cave Creek Glassworks. The focal sits in a ladder stitch "netting" to prevent the bead from rolling. The toggle closure is done in peyote stitch.
