A sweet blue agate, blue quartz, sterling silver, and lampwork bead bracelet, made sweeter with the addition of Thai Karen Hill Tribe sterling silver. The flower and leaf and the wonderful base of the earrings are all Karen Hill Tribe. Feminine, but not fragile.
Blue has always been one of my favorite colours, and I love it combined with opalite. What's so great is that the opalite picks up the lighter colour in the lampwork beads (from Burt Gumeson's "Jewels" collection, and the agate and quartz picks up the blue in them. There are about 60 charms here, so this is a really full bracelet - nice and fat for those who like them that way!
Fluorite is a softer stone to work with and to wear on a daily basis, but it's worth it because of the wonderful colour variations of the stone. In this 2 strand bracelet, large and small nuggets, a large carved oval, and faceted rondelles echo the colours of the lampwork beads with their subtle shades of greens and purples. The second strand is 3/4's wirewrapped little nuggets, and 1/4 large sterling silver rings doubled. The flowered lampwork bead is especially striking.
The last bracelet also has 2 strands, the second featuring large sterling silver rings once again (this is such a great look; it has substance, but is light) plus smokey topaz smooth rondelles. The great lampwork beads are laced with silver and blend perfectly with the topaz. All the bracelets have matching earrings, even if they are not shown here. All of these bracelets are for auction this week on Ebay.
