Thank you Lynn! I too purchased several others, the youngest daughter claimed them quickly, and picked a design. I don’t have any pictures of them. Her work is truly stunning!

This is stunning! Love, love, love teal and it looks fantastic with the Vintaj! And I have one of those asian dolphins but never thought to use it in a bracelet. Awesome!

Thank you Leigh. The lampwork is a deep beautiful blue with swirls of green, deep purple, and a lighter blue. It made me think of deep ocean water. As you can tell, I love different bracelets and the Vintaj stuff is perfect.
