About this jewelry: A delicious, feminine bracelet and pair of earrings (created by me!) using my own handmade glass beads and lots of sterling silver.

The bracelet was created with three of my lampwork beads, ornate sterling silver buttons, sterling beads and spacers, and is finished out with a large, easy to close sterling lobster clasp.

The extender chain makes this bracelet adjustable in length from 7 3/4" to 9" long and would fit a small to medium wrist perfectly.
