Pretty Silk Ribbon Jewelry

Bracelets made from silk ribbons and charms are quite popular right now, with some going for several hundred dollars – each!
This lovely one from jewelry designer Catherine Michiels features three gold charms strung on a length of variegated silk ribbon – and retails for $220 US.
It’s beautiful, but of course, I like the challenge of making something myself – especially for a piece of jewelry that’s a tad beyond my budget.
My local jewelry supply store has some very similar silk ribbon – it even comes in variegated colors too. I could also cut thin strips of duppioni silk, zig-zag the edges and use that. Hey, I could even hit the local scrapbooking section in the craft store – I’ve seen some pretty ribbons in there too…
