The violet and aqua seed beads are Italian, and glow like nothing on earth. Each one is hand stitched into place using the Ndbele or herringbone stitch. There's an old gold ruffle of smaller Japanese seed beads at the edge. The star of the show is the plaque: it's made of a vintage brass stamping set with vintage white opal Swarovski crystal rhintestones, and bonded onto a piece of black leather. I've used the violet Italian seed beads and matte black Japanese seed beads to make beaded tufts and ruffles on a vintage brass clasp. The bracelet measures roughly 7-1/2" long by 2" at its widest. This fantastic bracelet is brought to you by SPARKLE PLENTY, of course.
