Brass Strand of Beads

A thousand thin discs stacked like the world's smallest coin collection.

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. Very thin, flat disc beads in warm ruddy gold, packed edge to edge into a firm, ribbed cord. The tones shift between rosy and yellow along the length. The strand sweeps in two broad, smooth circles.

Tiny coins, strung with serious commitment.
