This video tutorial from The Potomac Bead Company shows you how to make our Caduceus bracelet, using Czech SuperDuo beads and Miyuki seed beads. The Caduceus is an ancient Greek symbol, which has been used as a medical symbol in the United States beginning in the 19th century. The symbol has two snakes wrapped around a winged staff. The pewter wings used as a clasp in this bracelet also help to replicate the symbol. We hope you enjoy making this new design!
