I love the flowers of spring and summer and well, I love the color purple in every single shade!

This bracelet was created in several steps beginning with a square stitched bead weave cuff for the base using purple seed beads with a matte pearlescent finish.

For the top, I used hundreds of seed beads in assorted sizes - from the palest lavender to the deepest purple, as well as Czech Glass Flower Beads, Bali Silver spacer beads and Findings to create this set. The glass flower beads on the bracelet make the sweetest "tinkling" sound when you move and the back of the bracelet feels really smooth against the skin.

Please take special note of the handmade Beaded Bead Clasp and Earrings. Each was hand beaded and formed around a Swarovski Crystal!

The bracelet measures 7-1/2" plus the bead and loop clasp. My wrist is 6-3/4" and this is a great fit. The bracelet slides but doesn't threaten to fall off. Because of the design the size cannot be adjusted.

Be sure to look at the photos for detail. I try to show front and back and get the best color representation possible although with purple it's always a gamble on what color YOU will see on your monitor. However, I've used so many shades of purple in this set it will go with all things in the Aubergine/Purple or even Periwinkle color family. Pair it with blues and greens for a softer look or even bright orange or yellow for a more dramatic effect.

The earring drops hang from Bali Sterling Silver ear wires and measure 1-1/2" from the top of the ear wire.

Wearing this set just makes you feel good! It puts a little "cha-cha" in your step if you know what I mean.

Thanks for shopping Adrienne Jewelry Designs!

Carmen Miranda meets Prince? While I was conjuring up a name for this set I kept thinking about the spring rains we have here in Missouri. We have loads of wild violets here and the song "Purple Rain" just kind of led to Prince...but the style is so Carmen Miranda...

Well, okay maybe not but just check out the cool beaded beads I made to use on the clasp and earrings in this set. I swear Prince would love to see Carmen Miranda in this bracelet and earrings! Am I rambling or it is just me? Sorry..
