I sometimes offer other dimensions which are precised in the optionsBangle bracelets - circular weaving

- XL: 168 beads - 21.8 cm - 8.6 inches
- XXL: 176 beads - 22.8 cm - 9 inches
If you weave more loosely, it can add 0.5 cm on the length
To measure the right size for you, measure at the widest point of your wrist. Do it just to measure.
Almost all of my models are woven horizontally.
They can be worn
- with a clasp, if you choose linear weaving
- Bangle, ie without clasp. The weaving is then circular
The basic kit: bangle and horizontal weaving includes the linear model and a bangle size M and sometimes L. The other sizes are provided on request if they are not yet online.
The weaving is made in peyote, but it can also be woven in brick stitch for most models.
Depending on the model, I can also offer the regular peyote weaving that I call vertical peyote to distinguish it clearly, and also a loom version.
For the last 2 versions I try to stay as close as possible to the original, but there are bound to be differences since the beads are not symmetrical.
