Summer Bracelet
About this design:
I love the ceramic components that I've used in this summer bracelet! I think the metallic grey Hematite brings out the silver and the soft pink colors so nicely.
Components:
Ceramics, Hematite, Rose Quartz, Lampwork, Hidden Valley Jasper, Hill tribe silver dragonfly charm and tiny beads, artisan bead cap, brushed oxidized discs, sterling silver clasp and ring.Additional Images:
