Brass Strand of Beads

Rondelles stacked in thick, wavy coils with a worn glow and no sense of hurry.

This is a strand of beads. It is brass. Brass has long been a favored metal for beads, its warm gold color deepening to a soft brown with handling. Small ring-shaped beads, tightly stacked into ridged tubes of dusky gold. Surfaces are slightly matte, with a few brighter edges catching the light. The strands are heaped together, with pale thread visible in one open spot.

Plenty of little rings, and hardly a bad angle among them.
