Update: The Winter Reflections bracelet is now in my Etsy shop.
As luck would have it, today is much too hot and sunny day to be writing about winter inspirations. But I don't want to wait any more - here is the final piece in my Four Seasons of Bracelets series.
Why reflections? Obviously, winter is cold and when things are icy, they get reflective. Ditto the mood - I won't say winter comes at the end of a calendar year, but the season usually marks the end of a natural cycle. Time for reflecting on all that has been, and what is yet to be. And since "reflection" also suggests duality, so the bracelet has two very different sides: one composed of large, faceted crystal clear quartz, and on the other side of a Thai hilltribe fine silver hammered circle, clusters of apatite and aquamarine rondelles in varying shades of aqua-blue. All icy and suitably sparkly, lots of symbolism (to me), and - I hope - magical enough to end the series with.
Will update this post later when the bracelet has been listed. Meanwhile, I'm supposed to be getting something done about my hair today. Absolutely no warranties made with regards to the success of this venture.
