African Princess-lampwork bracelet-Reduced

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 09:47:47 -0400

$55.00
I love to combine seemingly incongruous materials in my jewelry. In this piece I used elegant Bali sterling beads, somewhat rudimentary lampwork discs, a few bone beads and fancy, dotted lampwork beads. They are all connected with silver lined Miyuki hex cut beads which make every indivual bead stand out. The Miyuki beads also form a loop which fastens around one of the lampwork discs for a "button/loop" clasp (nice and secure, even if worn loosely).

The lampwork is by me. Every time I made a dotted bead for the set "Into the Light" by Prince played thru my mind. They are all made on pale, transparent bases and the light really flows through. The discs are made with Reichenbach light brown opal glass.

This piece is wonderful to wear. Easy to clasp, comfortable and the bracelet rolls nicely up and down the wrist with every move. It measures 8 inches long, but wears a little smaller due to the width of the beads (about 11-13mm).

marine biology you do say
describing these beads you show us today
if i were scuba diving deep in the sea
i would love to claim these and keep them for me
would i find them in rocks or attached to a lure
or maybe washed up all clean at the shore
whatever the case keep it in mind
if i see the beads i will keep what i find
