Handmade Bracelet in Amethyst and Obsidian


nugget beads on linked wires paired up with chrome chain and a handmade clasp


This bracelet was really fun to make. I knew i had found a large stash of small nugget and chip amethyst after I had started working on the last two necklaces, so I had leftover obsidian and this nicely colored amethyst. I was toying with ideas on pattern and how I wanted it to be strung.

I decided on shiny steel wire links to hold it all together in a simple (AOA) (OAO) pattern, with a handmade swirl hook closure that is not prone to accidentally coming unhooked. I really love this kind of hook closure because of its stability and it also looks good.
