SOLD “LOVE BRAVELY” bracelet

February 4th, 2007 by monkeyshinesbeadery

msb-018-mermaid-br.jpg

The charm on this bracelet is pewter, made in the USA by Green Girl Studios. It has a mermaid queen on one side, and the words “Love Bravely” on the other. It is the high note in this original composition of Czech glass, stone, lampwork, and vintage beads, on silver-plated European wire. Measures 8-inches long, but due to the size of the beads, its actual diameter fits a 7 to 7-1/2 inch wrist comfortably. It is slightly adjustable, but if you think you need more length, I can add links to make the bracelet longer - please make a note in the comments section of the order form when ordering. Bracelet designed and created in my private studio. This item is a one-of-a-kind work of jewelry art. What you see here is exactly the item you will receive, and there is only one. Gift boxed.
