Sterling silver & Gold-filled Dangle rosary bracelet

October is the month of the Rosary! Today’s piece: A sterling silver & gold-filled hand wired rosary bracelet accented with beautiful garnet stones. This rosary bracelet has fun dangles and wire work of a dainty whimsical bracelet. I like the interplay of the silver and gold metals with the deep red of the garnets. I also like the coil and que designs of the wire work, it actually has a slight spring. Remember when wearing dangles don’t jerk your hand when something gets stuck – simple relax and put your hand forward into the spot it is stuck and most likely it will release. Wearing dangles takes some practice… trust me I know! This piece is available. I posted on Saturday since I missed Monday!! Sorry about that!

GUESS THE GIFT

Here is another peak - can you tell? Maybe guess the metal?

October is the month of the Rosary! Today’s piece: A sterling silver and copper hand wired rosary bracelet accented with beautiful pearls and hematite stones. I had great fun figuring out how to execute this piece. I love oval jump rings and I could see how it could ‘house’ a stone or two. I love the dangle on this rosary bracelet, again very settle yet powerful when asked about the design. This piece also has a very cool necklace to compliment it. The color play between the stones and metals is fabulous! This piece is available. If you would like this piece, a similar piece, or any unique piece of jewelry; contact us!

Sorry for missing an image for Monday - I was not feeling well at all and basically rested so I could be fruitfully productive today! It is hard to force yourself to do nothing... but I worked very hard at it! LOL I think we need to take those rests for the body, mind and soul... we are a rushed busy busy get it done society... WE forget that God called us to rest on Sunday and do nothing - I know, unheard of! But at some point in time, we are forced to take that much needed rest! Enjoy your Tuesday and remember to rest on Sunday! :)
