Getting Started

This bracelet features round, flat stones that seem almost magically suspended between chain that’s too fragile to support them. The secret of its strength is the individual lengths of chain pinned to the tops of the beads.

Assembling this bracelet is only half the fun. You’ll enjoy the way the bracelet sits on your wrist and the interesting movement resulting from the unique way the stones and howlite beads are suspended between the chain lengths.
