December 2007 Challenge Entry - Peace on Earthy Bracelet by DesignbySunzeri

This unique bracelet uses kiln fired beads from exotic earth studio. The handmade beads are in earth tones and some are unglazed which add to the earthy character of the bracelet. Furthermore, these beads are paired with earthy 6mm agate and coco heishes. Of course, the center bead reads, "peace," which is where I derived my title, "peace on earthy bracelet."

The agate is genuine. The bracelet measures 71/2 inches in length and is finished with a lobster clasp.

Enjoy this for yourself or give as a gift.
