About this design:
While I was shopping at Michael's I discovered these fantastic bracelet spacers. I recently moved to Arizona.
I thought to make myself some jewelry inspired by what I have seen with regards to two major conponents: turquoise and silver.
Components:
These beautiful spacer beads are two-holed for bracelets. I had a string of Arizona turquoise which had greenish blueish with brown inclusions. Perfect for what I was wanting to create. Added tiny three holed spacer bars to give the bracelet more silver keeping with the design of the spacer beads. WOW !! I just love wearing this and have gotten compliments.Read the comments (or add your own)

S Moyers says:Nice. You certainly captured the native American look. Did you use memory wire? You can’t lose when you pair turquoise with silver

J DeVaul says:I love this bracelet, the Southwestern designs are some of my favorites. I have also done some with copper accents instead of silver.

Old Beaded Lady says:To S Moyers,
No, I didn’t use memory wire. I used regular stringing wire for jewelry….nylon coated bright silver jewelry wire. Thank you for your comment.
I appreciated this. Bead happy !!!
