The Native American beaded turquoise bracelet is strung on flexible beading wire and is 5 inches long. Counting Coup (word adopted from the French) was a means of a Native American warrior keeping track of his acts of valor in combat.

I hope the ancestors will please forgive the liberty I have taken with the true essence of "counting coup". It just seemed an appropriate name for this little turquoise bracelet.

The "sets" of turquoise beads are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. The round stabilized turquoise beads are 3 mm each and are separated by 3 mm silver plated beads. A sturdy lobster claw clasp is attached to better assure safety.

I couldn't stop thinking about "1 little, 2 little, 3 little Indians" as I was stringing it.

If you need a different length or a different stone, just contact me with your needs.
