I love dark chocolate and dark roasted coffee, so I am not surprised that when I first saw these new Kazuri beads at the Tucson Gem Show, I was immediately drawn to them. Their deep brown color is warm and lovely in combination with the gold. I love the juxtaposition of the handcrafted beads with the glittery Czech fire-polished and faceted glass beads in browns, crystal and gold. It’s a bit of the unexpected. The Florentine finish of the gold-plate elongated oval link chain brings it all together. All and all, this is the perfect way to get the urban tribal look so popular these days. The 3-strand bracelet closes with the finest quality gold-plate lobster style clasp and every size has a ¾” extender. With bead “charms.” There are two sizes to choose from but keep in mind, while the actual length might seem a little long, because of the style of the bracelet it “wears” a bit shorter than the actual length.

Handmade in the USA using domestic and imported components. From the Tanya Lochridge Jewelry Kazuri Collection.
