Description

I had this great stash of smooth, petal-pink, gorgeous Peruvian Opal chips and I was so ready to make something with them, but I wasn't sure what. I also was looking through my HUGE collection of beads and the jumbo, Bali silver focal bead you see here just kind of jumped out and begged me to find a place for it to shine. I've been holding onto it for years, because it's so pretty, I was almost afraid to use it. I've seen a lot of people making asymmetrical jewelry lately--it's bold and brave and cool. I felt like I should give it a whirl. Et Voila! "Combinations"

...A combination of smooth & coarse, regular and irregular, order & chaos.

~2/3 of this bracelet is made of polished, baby-pink Peruvian Opal chips with 3 equally smooth sterling silver discs in between.

~The last 1/3 is dominated by a 14mm highly ornate Bali silver bead among several smaller, shiny, round sterling silver beads.

~Total length is 8 inches (20cm), but you can clasp it at 7.5 inches (19 cm)and let the rest dangle--attached to the last O-ring is a sterling silver butterfly.
