Can something bold make a quiet statement? When I first got this bushel of Czech glass beads (and yes, I do get them in mega mass quantities) I couldn’t wait to whip a rope-like soft bangle bracelet up to see how they looked once in “order.” Well, needless to say, there was no disappointment on my part. Gold beads in matte and silver-lined glitter dance around the rope, mixing it up with deeper gold, warm browns and a few ivory relatives. I love how the finishes of the beads play off each other. Finished with vintage-inspired antique gold bead caps, Czech glass textured and smooth pearls join with Czech Jablonex fancy cut faceted clear beads and one perfectly perfect cracked quartz gemstone work their “charm.” Look closely at the bead caps and you'll see the tiniest of hearts.

Rolls on your wrist and is sized for average to larger wrists. A perfect look for the Paige Collins character on Royal Pains, don't you thnk? I like to think of this style of bracelet as a grown-up and much more sophisticated version of the friendship bracelets we had as kids. The better news is that this one looks smashing in the boardroom, as well!
