When creating jewelry designs, I often turn to fabrics or ethnic/tribal motifs for my inspiration. This motif is based on the pattern on a piece of African fabric, so it was inspired by both. The dark light pink colors are definitely not traditional for African motifs; I love playing with colors seeing how they work magic with a motif. The bracelet is hand-woven, 2 small beads at a time, using a technique called 2-drop peyote stitch, a technique that gives the piece a lovely drape, almost like fabric. It measures 1" (2.5cm) wide approximately 7.25" (18.4cm) long, including the silver-tone tube clasp. NOTE: All items are shipped from my studio in the south of France, so please allow time to reach destinations outside France. I ship quickly (often the same business day as the order is placed) but have no control over the speed -- or lack thereof -- of postal services here or around the world.
