Vintage-To-New Altered Art

“In my artistic mind, this is a beaded version of a scarf – it has depth, texture, color and movement.”
-Kristi Young, Designer

This elegant, one-of-a-kind charm bracelet is vibrant with tones of bronze and gold and a splash of red. It was handcrafted using a a lovely eclectic mixture of beads and charms chosen just for this project. There are 56 “Significant” pieces that were collected, prepared and attached directly to an antiqued chain of metal links using hand wire-wrapping and a few jump rings.

This collection includes metal charms, vintage upcycled watch gears, vintage glass beads including Czech beads, amber Swarovski crystals, tiger’s eye, marble, sea shell beads, metal tags and balls, a gold cross, mini filigree balls…the list goes on.  My husband said I should keep this one for myself, and he is right, but I already have too many bracelets so I should share. :)
