Brass Strand of Beads

A fine ribbed cord of little discs, glowing like embers going quiet.

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. Thin, round wafers in ruddy gold, some with a pinker flush and some paler. Packed tightly, they make a narrow ridged band. The strand loops in two wide rings with a spiral tail at one end.

Delicate as thread, sturdy as a habit.
