Teal Turquoise and Ethnic Bead Bracelet

This is a one of a kind bracelet featuring a large Turkomen gold gilt brass bead with silver inlay detail. Lucious teal turquoise discs are used throughout separated by small silver metal heishi beads on one side, with a teal fox turquoise nugget, large brass African bicone beads and handmade recycled silver bicone beads from the Tuareg in Mali. The focal and turquoise nugget are flanked by African brass ring beads from the Fulani people in Nigeria. The closure is a hand stamped Karen Hill Tribe fine silver button and link. The button fits through a loop of brown leather cord which is knotted onto the link. Knotted onto the leather ends are vintage Ethiopian silver metal beads and Ethiopian brass beads. Hanging from the link is an artisan bronze charm with a sun and spiral, colored with a waxed patina, a very cool artisan hand-cast bronze claw talisman charm, which symbolizes strength and protection, and an artisan white bronze charm with a hand and a spiral. This fits a 6.5” wrist. This can be made smaller by removing beads or made larger by adding beads. Please see my Information page on directions for measuring your wrist. Please contact me if you would like this piece custom sized.
