Brass Strand of Beads

A long coil of tiny gold pods, soft as brushed butter.

This is a strand of beads. It is brass. Brass beads in a strand are often graded or mixed by size, so the rhythm of the strand is as much a part of the piece as the beads. Rounded little barrels with a satin, slightly brushed finish in warm yellow. A few show a faint pinched seam down one side. They sit close in many looping rings, with a little tonal drift from bright to tawny.

Small beads, long attention span, very good posture.
