Some bracelets...

I like bracelets. Since they're smaller than necklaces, you can get a little more elaborate and chunkier than you would with a necklace. You also have to use materials which are a little more durable, which is a great excuse to splurge on a little somethin' somethin' at the bead store...

This one has a cute little shamrock, inspired by my son's favorite color- green. The spacers are Bali silver, as is the clasp. The Swarovski crystals are 5mm, so this is a dainty little bracelet.


Here's one I've got on eBay, called Hydrangea, since the bicone clusters remind me of hydrangeas. I can never remember whether you need acid or alkaline for the pink or blue blossoms... was it pink if the soil is acidic and blue if alkaline???
