Abdela Bracelet
There are two stories in this bracelet. One story is about the beads used – in particular African Trade beads which I find to be so special. I’ve used red Venetian trail beads, old European mini-moon beads, Venetian tabular beads, and Cameroon bronze beads ranging in age from the late 1800’s to present times. I’ve added contemporary elements – a drop-dead gorgeous lemon quartz bead at the center, Swarovski crystal, amazonite, and mother of pearl.

The second story comes from my visit to Haiti where I saw such raw beauty in the sails of the fishing boats. Their colors, their pride, however weathered and worn, spoke to me and I see these beads and this design as a reflection of how I felt about Haiti.
Measuring 7 1/4” with links extending to 8 ½” this bracelet closes with a gold-filled lobster clasp and will arrive carefully packed in a Bead Dreamer jewelry box.
