Hoping to list this in a day or so...the brass beads featured were hand made in the US from solid blocks of brass, hammered carefully into 8mm rounds--not an easy job! But the outcome is beautiful!
The natural agate brings out the golden tones, and the bronze Crucifix and center add another layer of tonal shading. While this is gorgeous in its pristine, shiny appearance, the brass and bronze will, over time, develop a lovely patina. (Of course, you can keep it shiny with a little Brasso polish.)
I'll be working on it today--after a final trip to the bead show to gather a few more treasures!
Blessings+
