Bold Dramatic and Chunky Exotic and Modern Silver Statement Bracelet

Make a statement with this glamorous and bold silver chunky bracelet! Brilliant silver beads of different shapes, sizes and styles from all over the world fuse together in this fabulous artisan bracelet creating a miniature piece of modern architecture. This luscious piece of jewelry is an exciting take on the traditional silver bracelet and will be a welcome and versatile addition to any jewelry collection.

The almost liquid silver balls are actually silver-coated terra cotta beads from Greece. They are hand-formed from a unique mix of terra cotta clays, kiln-fired, coated with rough copper and kiln-fired a second time, and then heavily coated with 100% pure silver. Because they are handmade, each bead is a little different, adding an authentic, inexact quality to the beads. Their amazing reflective property, multiplied by the number of beads, reminds me of the natural beauty of a reflection on a still lake. Silver Lake seemed an appropriate name anyway, and then I also found out that Silver Lake in Los Angeles, California has some of the greatest architecture in the world.

The unique hammered ball beads are handmade in the northern mountains of Thailand by the Karen Hill Tribe, as is the silver clasp and many of the smaller beads. The unique stylized bead at the bracelet end is handmade in Nepal by skilled silversmiths. The skinny disc beads are African heishi beads handmade in Kenya. The exact beads will vary from bracelet to bracelet, but the overall look will remain the same. Please see pictures for variation.
