Vintage style bracelet

I was having a play around today with some beads and took out a mixed bag of beads I got in Covent Garden for £2. There were some pretty acrylic (I think) beads which were asking to be made into something but I felt they were a little plain. So, I pulled out a heavy bag of Tibetan silver beads, charms and bead caps I've been using over the last three years and pulled out the bead caps. I used some nearly black eyepins to put the combination of bead caps and beads on, then put them together with nearly black jump rings and finished off with a lobster clasp. I really like the combination of beads and aged looking findings.

  2. Thank you, it's one bracelet I'm not sure that I'll want to part with, I'll have to see if anyone wants it and then decide.
