Brass Strand of Beads

A soft, shimmering rope of tiny discs with a rosy glow.

This is a strand of beads. It is brass. Strands of metal beads were traditionally worn as ornament and as a form of portable wealth in many parts of Africa and Asia. Dense wafer beads in warm ruddy pink with flashes of brighter gold along the way. Edges overlap slightly, so the line looks scaled. The strand lies in two nested circles with a curving tail.

A modest strand that gleams only when it feels like it.
