Mediterranea

Description

I saw these deeply, deeply blue Italian slide beads. They were singing to me. They weren't in my budget so I walked by. And then I walked by again, and again, and again. I couldn't help myself. And when you see them up close you'll understand exactly why.

Imagine yourself walking along the warm sands of the Italian or Grecian coast listening to the sea, hair flowing in the wind, your white linen skirt rustling around your legs. Think of the leisure, the romance, the timelessness of those wonderful Mediterranean land-and-sea-scapes. And imagine yourself wearing that single, perfect accessory that almost speaks.

That accessory would be this double-stranded bracelet. Made from freshwater pearls, yellow turquoise and imported Italian glass cabochons strung on sturdy, stainless steel wire, this bracelet is intended for the wrist of a timeless, classic beauty. It is sophisticated and playful.

I am especially pleased with the toggle clasp I innovated - a ring of silver-plated metal with a perfectly iridescent stick pearl closure.
