DiamonDuo beads are two-hole Czech glass beads that are shaped like a diamond. The faceted edges of the beads add a beautiful texture to the jewelry they're made with.

This beaded bracelet is made using Herringbone Stitch and is simply called the DiamonDuo Bracelet because it's made mainly using these beads. Accentuate the edges of the bracelet with a combination of size 11 and size 8 seed beads.

I made this bracelet using two different colors of DiamonDuo beads but you could keep it really simple and just use one or go crazy and make each row a whole different color. That's the beauty of bead weaving, you're free to be creative and do anything you want!

I would recommend this bracelet tutorial for all skill levels. It's an easy introduction to Herringbone Stitch using two-hole beads.
