Coral Glass & Keishi
About this design:
Talking about clasp - look at this gorgeous one! I think the clasp is such a beauty so I decided to make the rest of the bracelet quite simple using only pearly white keishis from LB and silver beads and sticks.
Components:
Keishis (pearly white), tiny silver beads, silver coral sticks, coral glass cab box clasp (sterling silver).Additional Images:
