Smaller Bead Crochet Rope Bracelet

I wanted to try a smaller bead for another Bead Crochet Rope to achieve a more dainty bracelet.

What I used:
Size 10 thread
unknown size bead, but smaller than my 6/0 Seed Beads, larger than 11/0 beads
Size 10 crochet hook (smaller hook fit into the bead stitch much better)
85 repetitions of my 3-blue (shiny), 3-purple (frosted) pattern


Finished product of beads was 7 3/4". Once I attached the clasps, it was 9".

Here is a picture of the final product as compared to my first attempt. You can see the hook size difference and the bead size difference.
I'll be selling the Blue and Purple Bracelet on our ArtFire store once I get a better picture of it.
