Copper Strand of Beads

Three loops of fine orange discs, coiled like a rust-colored spring.

This is a strand of beads. It is copper. Copper beads darken and take on green and brown tones with age and handling. Hundreds of tiny, slightly ragged disc beads run in a smooth orange-brown strand. The discs are thin and uneven, with pale flecks along their edges. The strand narrows to a darker, tighter stretch where it ends in the loop.

Tiny parts, steady rhythm, and surprisingly bold colour.
