Brass Strand of Beads

A heap of tiny gold rondelles, tangled like a nest made by a jeweler.

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. Many small, flat-sided ring beads in a dull, antique gold, stacked into thick, rippled strands. Some beads lean at odd angles, and a bit of white thread peeks through at the center. The strands are piled in heavy loops.

A lot of tiny rings with a lot to say.
