And so the story... 

This design, partially because of the one-inch fabric-wrapped bead, looks like you plucked it off the table at a vintage flea market in Paris. Get ready to do the Charleston...yes, the dance! The beaded rope component measures 3/8” in diameter and closes with top-quality substantial antiqued silver finished bead caps. Several smaller Czech matte and high-polished glass beads nestle in with the shimmery fabric bead and you’ll also find Swarovski crystals in the mix. The rope part of the bracelet is made up of a mix of cream of the crop vintage Czech Jablonex glass black beads – some matte, some transparent, and others looking like magical hematite gemstones. They are a perfect complement to the “charms” that dance from the rope. The unique 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 #0396 or #0397 – the perfect way to start your collection. I love these bracelets stacked with metal 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 the rope component of the bracelet is a variation of an ancient one used by the women in Nepal. And, I make each and every one of them myself!

A rather chic version of the age-old friendship bracelet -- makes a perfect gift. Also, this style is fabulous for anyone with dexterity issues -- no clasp to allow you down.
