Earrings, bracelets, necklaces ... I love to make them all. Swarovski crystal beads bring sparkling colors and
visual texture to my jewelry designs. Czech Republic glass beads offer rich deep colors, with individual
2-tone Czech beads often possessing unique color shading within the clear glass of the bead. For warm colors, I like to make
bracelets from the natural beauty of obsidian and jasper beads.

Swarovski® crystal bead and Czech Republic glass bead bracelet. Though I used a stretchy string material so I could
easily slide this bracelet on, I also used a Sterling silver toggle clasp to enhance this bracelet.
Approximate length 7.5 inches
