Brass Strand of Beads

Fine metal wafers piled so tight they behave like a soft rope.

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. Flat, tiny discs in a blend of rosy ruddy and pale yellow, forming a dense, textured line. Occasional brighter wafers flash among the warmer ones. The strand loops into two sweeping rings on a dark ground.

Patience, in strand form, with a nice shine.
