Description: Bracelet is made on sterling silver chain. Various sizes of swarovski crystal ab rounds. I was too lazy to make it all crystal so i put curve beads at the end for the rest of the length. All findings are sterling, a little swarovski heart dangles at the toggle. Its meant to be a cuff bracelet. Its really REALLY shiney.

Description: Sorry I had to take so many pics of it, but its really long. I got lucky and found the shell at the bead store near me. It was an impulse item...but it was nicely priced, only $12.00, and its a nice size. Its about 1.75 inches. The pictures make it look really dark though, its actually quite bright. Strung on beadalon, it has nice movement to it, not very stiff. Its about 32 inches long.

Stuff on it: faceted apatite rondelles, rainbow moonstone briolettes, fire opal swarovski crystal bicones, faceted amethyst coins, aquamarine swarovski crystal rondelles (8mm), citrine briolettes (8mm), peridot rondelles, sterling silver beads, carnelian briolettes, rose quartz briolettes (7mm), faceted pink tourmaline rondelles, freshwater pearls, peridot briolettes, mother of pearl coins, sterling silver shell bead caps.


Hope you enjoyed!
