"Charmant" is a chunky, beaded bracelet that is perfect for the colder months of the year. Golds and honey browns are reminiscent of evenings spent by the fire, perhaps with a glass of something in hand to warm the tummy.

The bracelet measures approximately 8.5" (21.6 cm) in length and is closed by means of a toggle clasp. The beads are glass, acrylic, and metal. The acrylic beads are believed to be vintage.

All but the glass beads and clasp are reclaimed materials. Recycling and reusing is a very important part of my work.

When I made this bracelet, it was a cold, dark, wintry day. We had decided to spend the day in, doing nothing but playing board games, watching TV, and making jewelry.

Charmant is French for "charming." To me, this bracelet is charming, because of the warm colors I used.
