Another new and fun design. Ok, I
could have used these triangular GORGEOUSLY banded
Ocean Jasper beads predictably in a necklace (and
I'm sure they would have been beautiful) but that
was too boring for me, I had to take it up a notch.
I have my friend, Bethany, to thank for these beads,
she was my personal shopper in Tucson for the Best
Bead Show this year and she picked up some amazing
stones for me. I'm so lucky that she knew of my love
for Ocean Jasper in all shapes and sizes!
This piece consists of a ton of silver, Ocean Jasper
in matching muted tones, 5 Fish Dark Ivory lampwork
spacers, Thai silver with bead sliders (small sections
of the beads "slide" across Thai sections, so cool
and fun to play with!), Greek leather, and pounded,
oxidized heavy sterling chain. Closed with my own
handwrapped hook clasp, my 5 Fish Signature tag,
and tied off securely with a matching dangle. This
is another design that would look great stacked with
similar bracelets.
