Silver Wristband by Authentic Spirit

Black beads dotted with silver, like a night sky done in a hurry.

This wristband is incised black coral and silver, by Authentic Spirit. Black coral has long been used for beads and ornaments, and inlaying or incising it with silver is a well-known way of showing off its dark gloss. Round black beads are spotted all over with small silver points. Two openwork barrel beads covered in granulated detail sit between them, and a smooth gold-toned barrel, faintly incised, sits at the front. The whole is strung to sit close on the wrist.

Dressed up without being dressed for anything in particular.
