Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:What a stunning bracelet — I love this, Margo!!! I looked at it yesterday in your Etsy shop, but alas, it is too small for my chunky wrists. LOL I’ll have to check out the site for lampwork beads and see if I can find one similar.
Chicky Chicky Blueroze, you’re right about the SS beads taking on a purple tone — so lovely!
Purple Chick — such a shock to find you here admiring this — NOT! LOL

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Oops — my mistake, Margo! I confused this lovely piece with another lovely one on your Etsy site — the Violet Raku Bracelet. My apologies to the designer! Unfortunately, it’s even smaller than this one….
