Inara’s slave bracelet

November 12th, 2006 by monkeyshinesbeadery

I’m not able make slave bracelets like the one Inara wore in the pilot episode of Firefly. This requires different skills and tools than I possess. But I have seen them online at these websites:

Kaneesha Inara-style clothing and jewelry
Exotic India Art Inara-style earrings
Jewelryandbelts.com Slave bracelets (aka Love, Cleopatra or Egyptian bracelets)
Also try searching Google or eBay for “slave bracelet” or “southwestern slave bracelet”
