And this kicks off my "Four Seasons of Bracelets" series... I love making bracelets. Unlike earrings, they don't need to be perfectly symmetrical (in fact even better if they're asymmetrical), and unlike necklaces, they aren't quite as tediously long. Lots of interesting things can happen when you design for a single 7-8" piece, and it's even more fun when I make it OOAK because I generally dislike churning out repeats.


Kyoto Spring is a romantic allusion to cherry blossom season in the ancient Japanese city in a charm-style bracelet dripping with nature-inspired baubles: coral pink 5-petal flowers and blue-green pods in glass, really lovely and lustrous white freshwater pearls, faceted prehnite rondelles in the palest of greens, as well as tiny freshwater pearl buttons in baby pink and shimmery bronze. Available in my Etsy shop, one piece only.

Do stay tuned for the next instalment :)

P.S. Yes I am trying to model the bracelet there... it is SO hard it's not even funny. I might have to start training T to take the pics for me :\
