About this design:
I grew up in southern California and love the beach ... I adore sea glass but have never found any until this past summer when I was at Solana Beach and found a gorgeous aqua chunk. When I saw these recycled beads, I snapped up some ... hopefully they'll get more in soon! I LOVE them!
Components:
Recycled glass round beads, soft flex beading wire, clasps, crimp beads, crimp covers.Read the comments (or add your own)

Kathy N says:Gorgeous recycled beads, but nothing compares to real sea glass. Irregular but beautiful shapes and so smooth. Still, this kind of bracelet would be beautiful and would whet your appetite for the real thing. (hint: go early in the morning after a big store.)

Julie Shane says:Pretty! Are these double wraps? I love the tiny beads but I can see using 2 strands instead of just 1.

Trends by Studio M says:Julie … these are single lengths but long enough to make 2 wraps. Hope that helps.
