Looks Nice, But Can’t Tell…

This looks like a nice design that I might like to make. The only thing is I would like to see what the bracelet looks like from the top, what you would actually see when wearing the finished item. Is that possible? Sorry to be a pain, but 3 of the same shots from the same angle doesn’t show me what I’d be making!
