Charmed Bracelets

Asian-Inspired Bracelet

 This bracelet has a very Asian feel, without a single Chinese character in sight!

I used a triple strand of black onyx beads on a sterling silver slide clasp.

The three charms are a fan made of Thai silver, a circle of bone, and a round bead that is butterscotch bakelite, one of my favorite materials. 

The charms complement each other beautifully in size, shape, and color, and lie nicely on your wrist without being too jangle-y. 

The bracelet is a standard length, 7 1/2 inches, and can't be adjusted because of the type of clasp that I've used. 

This bracelet is one of a kind. If you have a larger or smaller wrist, I can make you something similar that will fit. Just e-mail me: jeanne.sather@gmail.com

Price: $100. The price includes taxes, postage, and insurance to U.S. destinations.

Very Special Vintage Beads: The Earrings

Here are the earrings I made with the vintage orange millefiores.

The rare beads are 10 mm in size, made of intensely orange glass, with tiny flowers in blue, yellow, and red created using the ancient  millefiori technique. The one-inch hoops are sterling silver, as are the findings. 

I have only one pair of these left.

 Price: $28. The price includes taxes, postage, and insurance to U.S. destinations.
