| Handflower - Red Round Beads Here I took nickel-plated rings to create a handflower that covers the entire hand. Six red round glass beads are used to accent the piece. The finger-loop is also made from tiny nickel-plated chain. Each handflower can be made using silver-plated, gold-plated, sterling silver, or gold-filled rings. Czech glass beads, Swarovski Austrian crystals, semi-precious stones, and pearls can also be added. |

| Handflower - Bright Green I seem to do everything in threes. Here 9 bright triangular green beads form three triangles. Twelve darker round green glass beads form three small triangles. Each small triangle uses three rings to connect to the wide chainmail bracelet. |

| Handflower - Dark Green Each piece of jewelry that I make is unique. No two pieces will ever be exactly the same. The handflower was constructed using the basic 4-in-1 chainmail pattern used around to the world to create armor. Six dark green glass beads decorate the bright nickel-plated rings. |

| Handflower - Blue Cross Five brilliant blue round glass beads form a cross on this handflower that looks good on a man or a woman. This would be an excellent accent to SCA, RenFaire, belly dance, and gothic attire. |

| Handflower - Dark Blue I like mixing colors and textures when I make jewelry. Eight dark blue glass beads come together to form a unique pattern that nicely contrasts the chainmail bracelet. |

| Handflower - Blue Bloom Handflowers are sometimes called slave bracelets. I prefer to think of them as shiny blooms of color, like these small blue glass beads, that enhance a person's beauty. |
