Tucuman Braid Bracelet
This is a new design from Don
Coulson at Kingfisher Designs. The Tucuman Braid originated in
Argentina was used in making horse reins. The Tucuman Braid is a
unique braid, but what really sets this bracelet off from other
braided bracelets is that the clasp is the focal point of the
bracelet.
This braid is
dome shaped on the outside
and flat on the inside. This shaping along with the position of the
clasp makes the bracelet an unusual and well-thought-out piece, but
it is also a sturdy comfortable piece of jewelry for every day
wear.
This bracelet can be made for a man or
woman and in a variety of metals and combinations of metals. This
tutorial is shown in sterling silver, but it is a wonderful casual
bracelet when it is shown in silver and copper.
As you can see from the
photograph to the left, using different metals or adding a
patina allows you to make a wardrobe of unique bracelets from
this one tutorial.
This is an intermediate
project with 29 pages and 75 photographs.

I've got Chandler and Richey's
"Woven wire jewelry" and I think your instructions on
braiding are better than theirs."

I wanted to say a big thanks to
