This stunning variation of Byzantine incorporates sparkly crystals into the weave. These colorful additions cause the Byzantine to zig and zag around your wrist. Knowledge of Byzantine (available in CHAINED) is recommended before attempting this pattern.
Example shown right uses silver rings with siam crystal beads (top) and purple velvet crystal beads (bottom.)
Base metal kits come with a coordinating Deco Diamond Toggle.
