The real crown is the object which brings all the monarch as the main symbol of the authority they represent.
Traditionally, the crown is composed by a circle of gold enriched with gemstones and decorated with finials shaped celery leaves and interpolated with eight points, also in gold, but lower that finishes in pearls and an equal number of gold and pearl tiaras topped by an orb and sometimes a cross situated above it.
Carretero Vallejo_Braided Leather Bracelet_Structure ornament
Bracelets are a usual ornament for people. We use bracelets for everything. For everyday-life, for special days... Depending on the occasion we choose one or other type of bracelet.
In this case I have chosen a leather bracelet in orther to explain how it works.
It has 6 lines, that divided in two groups (3 and 3), they form a 2-line braid.
In each ending it has a piece that by combining them, form just one piece. It acts as a joint for the bracelet not to fall down. (it works as showm on the image).
By a pressure system, leather is joint to the steel. This way you can make the bracelet smaller by cutting the leather stripes.
