Red, red and red. Tossed with gold in Etruscan and Florentine finishes and pops of brilliant Czech glass beads in gold-crystal and jet-bronze – it all comes to life. In a powerful way. Two 7/8” Kazuri beads in red, gold and gunmetal designs are the centerpieces of this bracelet. The finest Czech glass beads in varying shapes and sizes work their magic. This is one of those pieces that you need to hold in your hand and see on your wrist to truly get the full impact of it. I just wish I could be there when you open your little gift. I should package everything with a tiny little camera that records each of your reactions when you first see the pieces. Wouldn’t that be something? The red Kazuri beads have long been a favorite of mine and are getting harder and harder to find. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to make as many red as they do other colors. When I see them, trust me, I gather them up and store them away like a chipmunk with acorns. Did I just describe myself as a furry little creature that lives in the woods? Hm-m-m maybe it’s time for a break for me.

Anyhow, this lovely piece measures 7 ½” and closes with an oversized lobster clasp. The 1 ¾” extender gives lots of wearing options so it will work with most wrist sizes.

It’s a happy thing, these beads and all the women who make them. Handmade in the USA with domestic and imported components. From the Tanya Lochridge Jewelry Kazuri Collection.
