Inspiration for pieces explained: Victorian and Crystal Cuff Bracelet

      

I had enough beads to make a simple cuff of all jet beads for this, then disaster struck, and I broke a bead. Although it could be repaired, I knew it would never be good enough. 

So instead, I used some vintage rough-cut rock crystal beads to act as spacers between the jet, and allow me to get rid of the broken bead. I think the end result is amazing, far better than my original plans.

Inspiration for pieces explained: Jasper Cuff Bracelet

         

These beads are just so amazing! Each one has a cut-out for a bead, and although I could have used a contrasting colour or more jasper, I decided on silver to give a shimmer to the piece, and not make the colours too overwhelming. I also like that it makes the piece 'metal' without being too masculine.

Carnelian Cuff Bracelet    

    

These beads are just so amazing! Each one has a cut-out for a bead, and although I could have used a contrasting colour or more carnelian, I decided on silver to give a shimmer to the piece, and not make the colours too overwhelming. I also like that it makes the piece 'metal' without being too masculine.
