Fantastic Crystal Beads Bracelet With Heavily Jeweled Clasp

NWS 15-1150

~ Though this gorgeous bracelet is unsigned, I have a suspicion that it was made by DeMario; it looks exactly like one of his creations

~ There are 6 strands of crystals comprised as follows: 1) small and medium pale turquoise, round glass beads 2) small and medium pale turquoise, oblong glass beads 3) Clear, faceted crystals, shaped like little lanterns, with deep blue streaks of glass at their centers 4) Tiny, round, pale blue crystals  5) Pale blue, cube-shaped beads, strung on the bias 6) Pale blue frosted rounds 7) irregularly shaped, clear crystals with deep aqua blue inside the glass  8) Pale green rounds, with swirls of lighter green inside  9) Dark turquoise faceted, "lanterns" in 2 sizes 10)  Clear and frosted round and oblong beads 11) Silver filigree bead caps

~ The 6 strands all come together in a rhodium-plated, shovel clasp that is so completely covered with jewels, you can't tell it's a clasp! All the beads are wired or riveted to the base, and are piled high from a flat surface just shy of .75 inch; the clasp incorporates many of the same beads in the bracelet, and some different ones too! It's simply magnificent!

~ Bracelet measures 7.5" long and the clasp is almost 1.5 by 1.5 inches square
