In the Marina


"In the Marina"



The newest bracelet and earring set at Jewels of the OBX. This is a light bracelet where I used three different shades of blue and green 5mm opaque rondelles and then tucked each one into a beaded ribbon of 11/0 mixed blue/green seed beads. The bracelet also includes 6mm teal resin rondelles and antiqued gold and dark gold seed beads. A rondelle loop makes a cute embellishment and the bracelet is completed with a 10mm antiqued gold lobster clasp. The earrings are a simple drop of matching rondelles with antiqued gold earwires. The bracelet is 7 1/2" long and the earrings are 1 1/2". The set can be viewed at Cloud Nine in Nags Heads.

See you on the beach!
