Designer arm Bracelet - Handmade beaded jewelry jewellery

Description

Large 14k gold filled donut beads and lava rock spheres make up the body of this handmade designer bracelet. Surrounding them is a makeshift branch of frosted Smokey quarts beads. The components and adjustable chain are all 14k gold filled. Finishing off the bracelet is an onyx droplet, suspended on a slender length of chain. Very unique, and feels quite comfortable on ones arm. This can go from casual, to dressy, with a simple change of your outfit.

Title: "Caterpillar Bracelet"
Inspiration:

The inspiration for this bracelet came from Grenada’s Frangipani Caterpillar. Ever seen one? They are a sight to behold. (I have included a picture for you to view!) Their enormous size and voracious appetite set them apart from other insects. I have never spied a Frangipani tree without a horde of these caterpillars clinging to its branches, so maybe they have some sort of special relationship worked out.

I love contrasting colors, so I have always been drawn to this fat little caterpillar, but I’ve never worked up the courage to touch one. We used to joke about making them into bracelets, but I am told that they bite, so I always maintain a very respectful distance. Now I have a safer way to enjoy their splendor! Introducing the Caterpillar Bracelet!

(Note: One of the frosted smoky quartz beads has a natural inclusion just below the surface that looks like a rainbow. When the light hits it just so, it really lights up. It’s very pretty, so I wanted to use it, but I want you to know it’s there so you’re not wondering what it is when the bracelet arrives!)

This bracelet is adjustable, and is 9.4 inches long, from end to end, when laid out flat. It will look best on a 6-7 inch wrist.

Enjoy!

(P.S. Yes, that's MY hand! I whipped out my special effects kit again for this shot. I found this amazing plastic paint that forms onto your hand like a glove. It dried in a matter of minutes, and then I was able to do the photoshoot. Great stuff. I love special effects!)
