Violetta Pretorius Beadwork

With a Twist Bangle

This piece was my winning entry into the 2016 International Bead Competition held in Stuttgart Germany. Competition theme was From Cubism to Art Deco - Clean Lines and was inspired by American abstract artist Burgoyne Diller.

Poppy Wreath Bangle

This mobile bangle is made up of 8 poppies where each poppy is a shaped warped square of my own design, allowing the bangle to twist and turn around your wrist. Originally designed as a Poppy pin in support of the Royal British Legion with proceeds donated to the foundation.

Wave bangle

Thiscone of a kind bangle was created while I was exploring and playing with my favourite colour combo (black and white). It twists on itself and is flexible enough to be worn on your wrist or up your arm.

Fibonacci series

I creating geometric shapes and this piece was inspired by Fibonacci series from 1 to 34 and back to 1. It is double layered to give it additional fullness and is suspended from a beaded wire collar.

Black and White with Red Bangle

Another exploration of my favourite colour combo this time used to create this double layered Rick Rack bangle.it is supple enough to be turned inside out and can be worn on your wist or further up your arm.
