"Berry Basket" Floradora Charm Bracelet

Artisan Jewelry : Bracelets

 

Gorgeous colors!! This lovely new Floradora recalls all the colors of Summer Berries ~ intense, juicy purples running into sweet, hot raspberry ~ this Floradora seems to positively drip with all those colors that stain your fingers and tongue, and suggest that maybe you have eaten more berries than you have popped in your basket?

Most all of the charms on this chunky bracelet are vintage pieces culled from my vast collections of retired American costume jewelry. But let me start by describing an element that is not old, but rather hand made glass lamp work hearts the color of blood! I have sacrificed four of these beauties only as they are rather heavy, made of solid glass. In the center of each has been crafted a deep turquoise and purple violet ~ you will be amazed!!

Surrounding these astonishing hearts are a great many very interesting vintage bits, each more fascinating than the last! Perhaps you will not be able to see them in my photos, but there are also a handful of very old, very beautiful garnet red glass berry beads. These I have coveted for a long time and finally am willing to part with them for such a perfect cause!!

This is the sort of Floradora that will entertain you for hours as you discover each and every subtle and stunning charm!

A comment about my photos: I have had several questions about the color of the gold tones in these pieces ~ sadly, they seem to look rather reddish and brassy in the photos, which I am sure has something to do with the weird lighting I have set up. TRUST ME: the gold tones are soft and yellow and never reddish and brash. Of course, the patina is different on each heart, which makes the Floradora look like a valuable vintage collection ~ but they are never brassy!!!! I am sorry that my lighting makes them appear that way.

Please note that I always need to know how long you want your bracelet chain to be. I also require payment within three days of placing your purchase order. All my work is One of a Kind and often a piece is desired by more than one client. Soooooooooooooooooo, I must know if the sale is "for sure" as soon as possible. It is sad to presume something is sold, when actually it might never be paid for at all. Hence the requirement for relatively fast payment. Thank you for understanding.

I must insist on Paypal for the first transaction. After you have become a "Floradora-phile" I become very relaxed about the "rules".
