Girl's Ladybug Bracelet

 I NO LONGER HAVE THE MOTHER'S BRACELET, BUT THE LITTLE GIRL'S BRACELET IS STILL FOR SALE.

I've made several pieces of ladybug jewelry recently, and now when I'm shopping online or at a bead store I find myself searching for ladybugs. 

I got lucky the other day when I found these handmade ladybugs of Thai silver. Thai silver is purer than sterling, which means it is slow to tarnish, and the pieces are handmade in hill tribe areas of Northern Thailand. (I've been to Thailand, and to Changmai in the northern part of the country, so I really love being able to get these handmade silver charms and beads.)

The ladybug has a whimsical charm that is perfect for a young girl. 

The little girl's bracelet has three strands of beads, a small claw clasp for security, and a small ladybug. It is adjustable to fit wrists from about 5 to 6 inches. 

Price: $60.  The price includes taxes, postage, and insurance to U.S. mailing addresses.
