Surfin' Safari

I loved the earthy colors I got to use for this bracelet---Judy's beautiful etched transparent seashells are the most wonderful color of olive green and when I dug thru my stash I had some stone beads I purchased awhile back from a vendor selling mostly Afghan Lapis. I can't remember if he said these are jasper or jade but they are from Afghan and I love the color variations and cut of these natural stones... and the way the complimented the lampwork.
The bracelet is wirewrapped with 18 gauge sterling silver, artisan hammered sterling oval links and I've added a palm tree sterling charm, along with a couple of hilltribe silver clam shells to complete the design. I think this is my favorite so far--Surfin' Safari $96.00.
