The stella Necklace

'If you feel you've lost your inspiration, stimulate your creativity by doing things you enjoy, like listening to music, dancing, or taking a walk. This will make you relaxed and inspiration will flow again"

Born and raised in The Dominican REPUBLIC,

Edgar's studies of architecture and

Jewelry Design fueled his desire to

pursue jewelry making full time. HE is inspired by the colorful hues of the LOCAL NEIGHBORHOODS of his homeland. EDGAR IS MOST KNOWN FOR HIS BODY JEWELRY AND Bold, GOLD-TONED statement PIECES.

Edgar is recognized through many

International publications and WORLDWIDE teaching commissionS.

The Stella Necklace is the first of two pendants that

edgar will be designing to honor twins newborn to

his family, (stella & Isabella). The inspiration for the

shapes and colors used in this piece are derived

from Arabic, Spanish, and Italian influences.

Proficiency in Circular Square stitch and

right angle weave are necessary to

complete this exquisite design.

Kit Prices:

kits with 24k gold Plated Seed Beads: $165

Kits with silver plated seed Beads: $155

Kits with Duracoat Seed Beads: $145

(Gold, Silver, Champagne, Bronze & Muscat)

"I would like young men to see that

beads are not the exclusive domain of women. There is no activity that is exclusive to gender, especially art"

Edwin Batres

The Rio Bracelet

Edwin Batres HaS been beaDing for over ten years. He discovered the beaDing world WhEn he met his teacher and mentor, AURELIO castano.

Edwin experimented with different art media, eventually finding his passion in beadweaving. Currently, He runs “aCL patterns and more”, an online shop that specializes in the sale of beading patterns, beads, and findings.

Edwin is a bilingual bead weaving teacher who holds classes throughout the northeast and in South America. EDWIN‘s work has been published in multiple international beading magazines including bead and buttoN, beading polska, Perlen Poesie, and beadwork Magazine, Among many others.

THe Inspiration behind the rio Bracelet cAME FROM THE

LEAST LIKELY OF PLACES; AN UNEXPECTED VISIT TO THE

EMERGENCY ROOM WHERE EDWIN REQUIRED AN ELTRO-CARDIOGRAM. AS HE WATCHED THE JAGGED LINE move up and down, EDWIN WAS REMINDED OF AN IMAGE OF A RIO, (SPANISH FOR RIVER). IT MADE HIM THINK ABOUT HOW AN EKG IS A GRAPHic representation OF A RIVER OF LIFE. FROM this

MENTAL IMAGE, THE DESIGN FOR THE RIO BRACELET WAS BORN.

Stitches used in this piece include cubic right angle weave, Peyote, and Netting.

Kit Price: $60

jewelry my whole life! I adore designing pieces that have a fine jewelry feel without breaking the budget."
