Pandora Starter Bracelet Kit - 8 Inch or 21cm length with 3 beads

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 15:34:22 -0400

$15.00
Measuring 3mm wide and 21cm in length this silver clad pandora style snakechain bracelet is the perfect starter for your pandora, biagi, troll or chamilia charm collections. My pictures don't accurately show the beauty of this shiny snakechain bracelet which has threaded barriers to accommodate standard "threaded" pandora/biagi beads or improvise using any lampwork, boro or spacer with a 4mm hole. Closure is a safe and secure hinged snap into which fits the free end.

Measuring: buy bigger than your regular bracelet length. This 8 inch bracelet is best for those who usually wear a 7 to 7.5 inch bracelet. Why? The large diameter biagi/pandora/troll charms and lampwork beads usually suspended on this style take up a bit of space!

Metal is copper with thick silver plating. Includes three free beads:
- one deep aubergine/midnight handmade lampwork glass bead with goldstone highlights;
- one ornate tibetan silver spacer;
- choose from 5 crystal colors (clear, red, blue, pink and yellow) on tibetan silver accent bead.
