English

This design repeats a motif over and over to create a colorful pattern. This headband has a simple symmetrical design and uses two highly contrasting colors to make the repeated diamond shape pop. The name comes from a technique jewelers use to create stunning multicolored silver bracelets, necklaces, and rings with carefully shaped stones set into them. I imagine the diamonds in this pattern as these carefully shaped stones, fitted into the headband like a big warm bracelet.
