Beautiful Glass
Sunday, March 7th, 2010I have been making so called brangle bracelet for a while, previously using beach pebbles and handcast silver beads. These proved to be very popular and so I have now made a new design of these using pebbles and Greek silver beads instead. I also have recently aquired some absolutely stunning handmade glass tumblestone beads from extremely talented Welsh glass artist Isabelle Anderson, so I thought I’d show you 2 of these new ones.
Firstly though, here is the Cornish pebbles brangle bracelet which is made using very thick silver wire for the base and the swan clasp. I have drilled pebbles and combined these with handmade silver coil and Greek silver spacer beads. These Greek beads are also a new addition to me. They are actually high fired terracotta dipped in pure copper and then fine silver which means they are coated in a very thick layer of fine silver. They take patina really well as well so that’s a bonus as I use that in all my jewellery.
Now for the new exciting ones! These two are made using handmade glass tumble beads in aqua blue shades. They were combined with Greek silver spacers and silver coil and made on the same thick silver frames and swan clasps. The beads are absolutely stunning, gorgeous detail and vibrant colour. They are perfect for summer
The first one is called Aqua Pebble Brangle Bracelet:

Next up is the Azur Pebble Brangle Bracelet:
They are both available to buy in my online shop, but they are one of a kinds, so you need to get in there quick if you fancy one.
I am also going to make more of these in cobalt and indigo blue and greys/purples, so keep looking back! Until next time…
