Sterling Bracelet with Artisan Blue Beads and Hand Forged Silver Beads - This bracelet features my favorite beads from artist Susan Kennedy (Sue Beads) - gorgeous translucent blue glass in a shape she calls "chicklets". Each rectangular bead is pressed with a flower shape on each side - please zoom in on the images to see the varying shades of blue - just stunning!
These special lampwork glass beads begged from sterling silver accents. So, I made three square beads from sheets of sterling silver to which I rolled a pattern. Each edge of the silver beads has a bit of texture made with my hammer. All sterling silver components have been darkened and polished by hand to achieve a lovely aged patina.
The bracelet measures approximately 7 3/4" in length and fastens securely with a lobster style clasp into any of the three hand soldered hoops.
All metals used in this bracelet are .925 Sterling Silver.
Jewelry is made using traditional metalworking techniques, including soldering, filing, sanding, texturing, polishing, and tumbling in my home studio. Jewelry comes wrapped in a cotton-lined gift box and ships quickly. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
