 Another one of those designs that look like you discovered it while on vacation at some exotic beachy resort. The rope measures 3/8” in diameter and closes with top-quality substantial antiqued silver finished bead caps. Look closely, you’ll see the tiniest of hearts bringing love your way. The silver-gray on the two one-inch mother-of-pearl beads is mystical and really comes to life when mixed with the clear crystal quartz nugget and 10mm-11mm grey baroque ringed freshwater pearl. A glint of one of Swarovski’s latest colors is the icing on the cake. Tiny glittering beads continue the spark of it all. The rope component of the bracelet is made up of Jablonex Czech glass black beads – some matte, some transparent, and others looking like magical hematite. They are a perfect complement to the “charms” that dance from the rope. The unique soft bangle design of this bracelet means that you simply (and carefully) roll it over your hand and onto your wrist. Fits a medium sized wrist. This looks great layered with #0397 – the perfect way to start your collection. I love these bracelets layered with metal and enamel cuff style bracelets from my jewelry box.

Be creative, you can have a different look every day of the week. That’s the fun part. Also, just so you know, the technique used to make this design is a variation of an ancient one used by the women in Nepal; it’s peaceful for me to do and I like that it’s a technique that has been used for years and years. The overall design is also very reminiscent of designs from the 1920s. Can you say Great Gatsby? Handmade in the USA using domestic and imported components. From the Tanya Lochridge Jewelry Trunk Show Collection. Here's just one look I get when I layer this piece with others from my jewelry box (well, trunk might be a better description!).
