Mother Nature is quite an artist. She creates beautiful shapes forms I love incorporating them into my designs. This motif was inspired by sea plants, with their graceful curves that I can imagine swaying underwater. Obviously, the cinnabar color I used isn't true to Mother Nature's original, but I love the way it looks. The bracelet is designed hand-woven (by me) using a technique called 2-drop peyote stitch, where nearly 2,000 small beads are added 2 at a time. The resulting bracelet is supple, with a fabric-like drape. It measures 1" (2.5cm) wide 7" (17.8cm) long, including the silver-tone tube slide clasp. NOTE: All items are shipped from my studio in the south of France, so please allow 2 weeks to reach addresses outside France. I ship quickly -- often the same business day -- but have no control over the speed or efficiency of the postal services here or around the world.
