I love to buy random turquoise bead mixes, unfortunately I like to have more beads than I can process :D
This freeform bracelet has a lot of various turquoise beads: chalk, stabilized, probably some dyed howlite as well, I have no idea what else. It has some wire wrapped beads as well as some dangling ones.
I like matching grey with strong colours. This time I used lapis lazuli, which is vibrant dark blue (and has pyrite inclusions). Labradorite beads are pretty much neutral, the biggest one has a nice blue flash (as seen on a photo)
This bracelet is just copper and turquoise (and brown ribbon), but I really like this combination. The big rectangle bead is more likely dyed jasper than turquoise, but it looks really nice on a bracelet.
I have been wondering how to use wire wrapped beads for bracelets. I had a few ideas, but this is the first one that I actually finished and came out ok. I had to figure out some thing first and I actually spent more time making this than I spend on my pendants. Wrapping the bead was the easiest part.
There’s a lot of stuff in this one: beautiful lapis lazuli with pyrite inclusions, chalk turquoise, stabilized turquoise, I’m suspecting some of the beads might be dyed howlite, but I can’t check it without destroying them. The elements I used are steel.
