I'm selling off some of my collection of unusual beads to make some space in my workshop, so if you love beads, please take a look

The handmade brass beads from Ghana are a great match for these chunky antique trade beads and the hand carved ebony ones.

Full description

This one off bracelet is made with a collection of unusual beads including 5 rare old trade beads, some carved ebony and some new 'lost wax' brass beads from Ghana. These beads are individually made and each one is different.

Condition: As the ‘millefiori’ (a thousand flowers) trade beads have 'lived rough' for over a century, they must be expected to bear the scars of their journey. but these are in remarkably good condition. The vintage ebony beads have been carved by hand and the contemporary brass beads are made in small workshops with basic equipment and in molds which have to be broken, so each one may not be 'perfect' in its shape or make up yet has a very special charm of its own.

Fastening: I've finished the bracelet with a round, copper coloured, magnetic clasp.

Size: The bracelet can be worn by men or women but this one is designed for a larger wrist, having an inside measurement of approximately 7.5".

Presentation: Your bracelet will be sent in a presentation bag and a mailing box.

Gifts: I can send to another address and include a handwritten message if requested.

Postage: I can usually post within 24 hours.

Designed by Pat Simon in Bishop's Castle
