Purple Rainbow "Cha Cha" Bracelet


I've been in a purple mood lately. That happens sometimes...I get hooked on a certain color or theme. My last 7 or 8 pieces have been various shades of purple. This is one of my favorites.

This bracelet required several long hours of hand wrapping each and every dangle with sterling silver wire. It consists of these amazingly beautiful furnace glass beads together with Swarovski crystals in different shades of purple, freshwater pearl nugget beads in deep irridescent purple, and a few unique handmade Bali sterling silver beads.

I haven't been a fan of furnace glass in the past. I'd found it to be 'cheap' looking and not my style. But when I was in Tucson for the big gem shows I found this amazing furnace glass that I couldn't take my eyes off of! And it turns out the artist lives in my state.What are the odds? :) I purchased 30 ounces of her furnace glass and when it's gone, it's gone.


If you are interested in purchasing this bracelet, it is on sale at my Etsy store. The matching earrings are free with purchase.
