One of a kind.
A prototype, created ca. 1998.
I had not yet realized that designs in this series could be reversible, with a diffrerent colorway on each side.
Made with:
Cast and oxidized sterlng silver forms connected by hand-fabricated sterlng silver hinges and finished with an old-fashioned sterling silver toggle clasp.
Glass seed beads made in Japan in a marvelous rainbow of colors, along with gilt metal beads from Japan and antique faceted aluminum beads made in France in the flapper-dress era. The beads are united with peyote stitch, a beading technique that surfaced in Egypt by ca. 2400 BC. It has since been used by cultures around the world.
Invisible ultrasuede panels below the beads to provide padding.
Weight:
Medium-heavy.
Dimensions:
8 1/8” long from end to end x 1” wide x 1/4” deep.
Slipping the toggle bar into the ring reduces the length by an estimated 1/3 - 1/2” inch.
Additional Information:
Both sides of this bracelet are colored the same. Thus, it is not reversible as later bracelets in this series were.
I will sign the bracelet before shipping.
