Sea Gems
Lampwork and Silver Bangle

Thought I'd try something a little more whimsical in this bangle bracelet to really complement some very lovely ocean hued borosilicate lampwork beads. I've hand twisted Sterling silver wire and wound it around a solid 12 gauge Sterling silver wire core, then added Sterling silver daisy spacers.

For the focal I've wound Sterling silver wire adorned with small ocean treasures around a large (1-1/2 inch) Thai Hill Tribe silver scallop shell. Pearls, jade, crystal clear natural quartz beads and seed beads in aqua and peridot green decorate the top of the scallop. Their swirled design echos the gentle movement of the sea.

Additional Hill Tribe silver beads and shells, together with my own Sterling silver handmade wiredoodle sea creature clasp, add to this bracelet's eclectic ocean theme. The matching 2-1/4 inch long Sterling silver earrings have jade accents.
