African Tribal unisex bracelet / African Recycled Glass Beads / buying Vintage Ashanti Lost Wax Brass Bead / Safari Adventure / Nomad / Warrior

'African Tribal' unisex bracelet .....

This unisex bracelet has a superb range of impressive African recycled glass beads. Most would have been crafted in Ghana by industrious local people who collect bottles and even re-use previously made glass beads - crushing them all down and then melting the glass again to make more recycled glass beads. Some, like the 'tube' beads have had decoration applied. This is achieved by adding glass paste - and then these particular beads have a second 'cooking'. Along the bead 'run' there are opaque beads, translucent ones with internal colourful flecks, sand cast beads and opaque and translucent disc glass beads. I've added a large vintage Ashanti 'lost wax' brass bead within the main mix and there is also a smaller one on the tassel near the toggle loop. All have been threaded onto Irish waxed linen cord. The bracelet is 21cm. It could well suit an 8" wrist, however, a bracelet 'fit' is such a personal choice so this suggestion is only a guide. Depending how you like your bracelets to 'fit' this one could be a candidate for layering buying with others (more will become available in my shop). The The widest bead is the focal one and this is 16mm. The complete bracelet weighs 52.4 grams. This bracelet is a 'statement' piece and as such has larger / impressive beads along the cord - hence I have not secured the linen cord to be tight - but to allow some movement between the beads.

Care Tips:
Avoid getting jewellery wet. I would advise against using perfumes and lotions which could come
into contact with the jewellery. Not forgetting also that if glass components fall onto a hard surface there is the risk of it/them breaking.

Please ensure you have looked at all the images and read the listing description fully so you are familiar with all details before purchasing. Remembering colours may vary from monitor to monitor.
