Inspiration for pieces explained: Vintage Mother of Pearl and Garnet Bracelet

      


I bought a vintage necklace that was mother or pearl beads and a mother of pearl pendant. I decided to re-string the pendant on a contrasting set of beads (note to self, still to do), which left me with a lot of vintage mother of pearl! 

I thought that a bracelet was the best solution, and to add contrast I used my favourite hand-cut garnets to give richness to the bracelet. 

This one is slightly unusual in that I created an animation to show it being created!
