life's a beach: the charm bracelet
fine silver jellyfish charm
Continuing the "life's a beach" theme with a wire crochet bracelet. It would, I think, be difficult to visit an ocean-inspired theme without including wire crochet as it captures the 'tangled in the nets' visualisation of beachcombing exactly.

The bracelet comprises four strands of argentium sterling silver wire in a simple chain stitch strung with freshwater pearls, vintage mother-of-pearl buttons. moonstone and crystal chips, and shell heishis. A small glass fish is 'trapped' in the mesh.

Small handmade fine silver charms dangle in between the beads and the strands are wired together into fused argentium hoops.

The hoops were handforged, fused closed then hammered to texturise them. They also mean that the bracelet will fit a wider range of sizes as the clasp will hook onto any of the loops.
