How the Bracelets are Made

Each bracelet is hand woven with beads individually added according to the pattern. We design our own patterns and choose all the colors for the bracelets. Since they are woven one bead at a time, one bracelet can take up to 10 hours to make depending on length, width, and complexity of the pattern.
We use Spider Wire (braided wire used for fishing) to string the beads so the bracelets are strong and durable. The string is water proof so the bracelet will not warp if it gets wet. So essentially, they are weatherproof!
The toggles are beautiful and unique, but are simply metal. Sterling Silver toggles will be used upon request only.
Depending on color and type of glass, sizes and shapes will vary, and therefore so will the size and shape of the bracelets.

When you purchase one of our creations you will know that they are made with lots of care and love!

A Few Pictures

We have a few pictures to post! Due to the weather and lack of sufficient light, there are only pictures of 1/3rd of the bracelets. But that should be enough to whet your appetites! So without further ado,
