Turquoise and Silver Bracelet

Description

This is a terrific bracelet for a play day. It weighs 1.7 ounces, so it's substantial without being heavy.

The turquoise came from my mother, who couldn't resist contributing to my bead stash. No two beads are the same color, texture or size, which enhances the casual feel.

8 1/2 " long with turquoise beads, hand made square Sterling silver wire-wrapped 'beads' with hand made clasp. The turquoise beads are approximately 12-16 mm, with the largest bead at the center. The Sterling wire is square in order to catch the light.

The beads are strung on Accuflex beading wire for strength, with smaller Sterling 'beads' in 26 gauge silver to cover the crimp beads.
