About this design:
I had these very unique tribal inspired glass beads sitting in my bead
supplies. I thought to finally put them to use making a contemporary sort of bracelet.
Components:
Two strands of beads held together with silver spacer tubes. Since black is shown on the saucer beads; I used large black faceted ones giving it some character. Tiny silver heishi spacers also used. The clasp is a double strand slider which is magnetic.Additional Images:

Nancy Mc says:Love the beads in this design. They remind me of butterscotch. (It’s always about food)
I would not have know that was a magnetic clasp. Very pretty!

beadinggma says:Your designs are unique with an ethnic appeal I like. Great finds on the beads!

Laud says:Really like the colors, and by making the design modern, you avoided the obvious ethnic direction that wouldn’t have half as nice.
