Brass Strand of Beads

A big loop of fine wafers, bright as a new penny and just as tidy.

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. Thin disc beads in a lively yellow-gold with only light rosy shading. Packed closely, they form a firm band with a barely ribbed edge. The strand rests in two large rings with a short curved tail inside.

Neat as a ledger and nearly as sparkly.
