A lively, chunky bracelet made with the colorful glass art of Candice Mathewson.

I like to show very large photos of our work so you can see the details, but because these enlarged photos can be misleading I also put the measurements in the item descriptions. Thanks!

This piece is created with:

• Lampwork Glass Beads (lentil-shaped ~19x11mm): Created by melting various colored glass in a torch and manipulating the molten glass around a metal rod then baking the bead in a kiln for a long-lasting, durable piece of art. Note: To assure the Lampwork in our creations is properly annealed and cleaned, we only buy lampwork from people we know.

• Swarovski Crystals (8 & 3mm): The finest crystals in the world from Daniel Swarovski's famous factory in Austria.

• Amethyst (focal is ~15x8mm): Unless noted otherwise, all the gemstones used in our jewelry are natural (untreated) and genuine.

• Hill Tribe Silver: Crafted by one of six silversmith tribes living in the hills of Thailand; pure silver ("fine " 99.9%) is used instead of sterling (92.5%) because the softer metal lends itself more to engraving, Repoussé, and hand-forged designs.

• Sterling Silver: Unless noted otherwise, all our silver components, beads, wire, and headpins are sterling (.925) or higher (fine silver .999).
