When I found the awesome vintage inspired glass button at the center of the bracelet I knew I needed to design something special around it. I searched through my bead stash and found some of my Mother's vintage bugle beads that she gave me years ago and some Swarovski crystals and viola they became this awesome bracelet.

The button in the center is made with a beautiful iridescent glass that reminds me of carnival or Fenton art glass. It shimmers with shades of blue,plum,gold,brown and greens, I mirrored those colors in the other beads and crystals on the cuff.

I sewed each individual bead to the plum/purple backing with strong beading thread. Sandwiched between the front and back of the bracelet is a metal cuff form so it will always retain it's shape. I spent many hours making this and I believe it will be a piece you will wear for many years to come and with proper care it could become an heirloom piece for you. Defiantly a statement piece of jewelry.

It is 1&3/4 inch at the widest point and will fit most wrist sizes.
