Silver Strand of Beads

Triangular pale grey plates wrapped in plush purple yarn, bold as a stage costume.

This is a strand of beads. It is coin silver. Silver beads tarnish to a soft gray with time, which is often seen as part of their character. Flat, wedge-shaped beads with stamped dotted borders and concentric arcs, spaced by narrow pale grey bands. Fuzzy purple wool binds the gaps between them. The metal is dull pale grey, slightly bent at the lower tip.

A very confident use of purple.
