Indonesian Copper Bracelet

Dull grey beads, bright warm bands, and a delicate hook tucked out of sight.

This copper and leather bracelet is from Bali, Indonesia, and is contemporary. Bali is known for its metalwork and jewelry workshops, where artisans work in silver, brass and copper alongside carved wood and stone. Matte grey-black barrel beads alternate with polished, reddish-gold bands of varied width around a closed circle. A fine, S-shaped catch in a paler tone sits at the rear. The beads show a soft, rubbed patina. It is 2.5 inches long and 2.5 deep.

Two moods, taking turns around the wrist.
