Brass Strand of Beads

Paper-thin little rounds, stacked like a roll of bronze confetti.

This is a strand of beads. It is brass. Brass has long been a favored metal for beads, its warm gold color deepening to a soft brown with handling. Slim disc beads with a slightly rough, handmade edge, in a mellow ruddy gold. Their stacking gives the strand a subtle ribbed texture. It forms a graceful S-curve, finishing in two wide rings.

So fine it almost forgets to be jewelry.
