Description
So now I think I've reasonably mastered the brick stitch fans technique.I've bought some wonderful Toho triangles (Bronze Antique Gold) and Miyuki 11/0 seeds to match, in a simple colour scheme which consists in black and dark bronze. The centers are Swarovski pearls.
I've a pair of matching earrings and, as you can see by the threads, it's still to be finished.
The thing is that I'm really uncertain on how to close the bracelet. It would be perfect if I could find (or make) an invisible clasp, since the top and bottom fans complete each other. But I'm totally lost on how to do it
I would like it to fit relatively tight around the wrist, so that it wouldn't fall.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

This is going to be awesome! I love these and have yet to make one myself. I will try to think of an idea for your clasp, but may not. I have a bracelet myself that I have had trouble with a clasp on as well and remains unfinished for eons now LOL

Thank you! I've been thinking and may well close it keeping the design and have a "claspless" bracelet, I want to wear it so much

that is just amazing looking!
as for finishing it . . hmmmm . . maybe a small hook/eye closure? that would be easier to hide, and might work, though the wearer would need help putting it on!

Thank you! And thanks for the favourite too
I thought of that, but would it be a safe clasp? I fear that it may fall... On the other hand I could just close it, but then it would be larger than what I want. It's really hard to decide, I didn't think of it when I started making the bracelet...

you are welcome!
I suppose it would depend on the length of wear, size of wrist, etc . . too many variables! >_< I can definitely see the dilemma . . . I hardly remember to think of that with my bracelets either! the chokers aren't such a problem (unless its a piece of particularly delicate or complicated lace) normally, but then I plan them out rather minutely from before the first stitch! lol.

Thank you! Unfortunately I still don't know how to make an invisible clasp so I can't finish it
