Nexus Bracelet and Earrings

There’s another new 2-hole bead in town!

Czech “Silky” 2-hole beads are 6x6mm in size (similar to the CzechMates Tile beads) but the two parallel holes are on the diagonal, with a raised bevel on the top of each bead that runs opposite of this diagonal thread path.

The Nexus Bracelet is created by beading 7 or more separate motifs, which are then joined using seed beads and SuperDuo beads.

Single motifs make great Nexus Earrings:
