Brass Strand of Beads

A spun ring of tiny discs, honey-gold and just a little rumpled.

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. Densely stacked wafer beads with a satin, ruddy-leaning gold surface. Their rims are uneven, so the line looks faintly crimped. The strand loops in two big rings with a curved end resting inside.

Soft glow, firm grip, small ambitions.
