The segments of the arata bracelet are crafted from Japanese glass seed beads with a needle and thread, one bead at a time, using a handweaving technique called "peyote stitch." The beadcaps and clasp are sterling silver.

These two designs are based on cube shapes beaded with size 11/0 Japanese glass seed beads.
The "cube necklace" contrasts a single color of seed beads with a single color of Czech firepolished glass beads. Bali sterling silver beadcaps, sterling silver chain, and a sterling silver infinity trigger clasp complete the design, which is partially strung on parachute cord. Length: 17"/43.2 cm
The "kuutio necklace" ("kuutio" = "cube" in Finnish) contrasts different colors/shades of Japanese glass seed beads with one another. Sterling silver links, sterling silver chain, and a sterling silver infinity trigger clasp round this one out as well. Length: 17"/43.2 cm

This bracelet was named for its resemblance to the prayer wheels used by Tibetan Buddhists.
Peyote stitched size 11/0 Japanese glass seed beads alternate with Czech firepolished glass donuts. Sterling silver beadcaps and an infinity clasp complete the piece. Strung on parachute cord, my bracelets are all suitable for everyday wear.
Measurements: 8”/20.5 cm
