Silent Movie

This bracelet surrounds an interesting cabochon of Tourmalinated Quartz. The tourmaline crystals are very striking and remind me of a sort of "black lightning". In fact that was the original title for this piece. But when I completed the hematite and silvery remainder,it just spoke to me of the Silver Screen and the elegance of the fantasies of the early age of Cinematography. I used an interesting technique for the #15 gunmetal beads where I stitched them over each other to create texture in the tiny beads. There are also clear and black drop beads as well as gunmetal dagger bead accents on the edges. Supporting the circle of clear drop beads are pearly white #15 two-cut Czech beads for just a little sparkle.>>MPK
