Peggy3 says:Nice design. The pola dots pops. Is that a double wrap?
I can count on logging on and seeing a new piece from you

Peggy3 says:Of course, I should be working

Deb Harding says:LMBO you should be working!!! Don’t get in trouble!
Yes its a double wrap. Too many beads for a single bracelet not enough for a necklace. It was the last strand at a clearance sale. I had just bought the watch at the time.
