ANCIENT




I haven't forgotten about jewelry! This is a mixed metal bracelet, sterling and copper, handmade jump rings again. I have to thank sweet girlfriend Esther for the wonderful French coin, and my dear friend LeAnn, for these wonderful blue and brown beads. LeAnn's beads are pure magic. I, and many others have always talked about the fact of how we love to just roll LeAnn's beads in our hands, we love the soothing way they feel. For me, the magic goes way beyond that, and they speak to me. These photos are what they said.

I love it! LeAnn does rock that is for sure! She helps us look so good too! Love the coin...it actually looks like a Victorian love token. What is on the opposite side?

Judy, the other side says liberte, egalite, fraternite, 10C 1938

it translated to liberty, equality, fraternity....we will have to ask the expert Esther!

Great work Sharon, this bracelet is "magnifique" ! Love its hearthy tones and the mix with silver wire. "Liberté, égalité, fraternité" is the motto of France, written on every public monuments and town halls and dates from the french revolution in 1789. Enjoy !

You never cease to amaze me. I love the coin and the key on the bracelet. I know what you mean about rolling the beads around in your hand. The texture, and the clicking sounds as they bump into each other. Beautiful work!
