This bracelet design for the DeepBlue series came out of a desire to change the color tone (more brown, less blue, less black) and it was surprising to see beads made of wood go so well with stone beads (the agate-blue beads of the DeepBlue design).
But it worked out and at times I cannot distinguish which beads are stone and which are wood without looking very closely. Very unexpected, and fun.
My bracelets have been getting enough compliments in the last year that I’ve opened a store at http://www.vinchesidesigns.com, come visit if you are interested.
