A recent trip to Portugal inspired this bracelet pattern that's based on the beautiful "azulejos", the traditional ceramic tiles that adorn many of the buildings there. Five colors (shades of blue & purple with black outlines on a white background) give a sense of texture & depth.

The more than 2,500 small beads in this bracelet were hand-woven (no loom), 2 small beads at a time, using a technique called 2-drop peyote stitch, giving the piece a lovely drape, almost like fabric. It measures 1.5" (3.8cm) wide & approximately 6.5" (16.5cm) long, including the silver-tone magnetic tube clasp.

NOTE: All items are shipped from my studio in the south of France, so please allow time to reach destinations outside France. I ship quickly (often the same business day as the order is placed) but have no control over the speed -- or lack thereof -- of postal services here or around the world.
