Brass Strand of Beads

Lightly crusted little drums with a sleepy sheen and a bright bead near the bend.

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. Textured barrels in deep gold with brown shadow, divided by thin dark washers. The curve at the bottom holds one bead noticeably more yellow and polished. Two arcs of strand hang beside each other.

A small, steady strand with one eye-catching bead.
