Fun with bead caps

After rescuing these green mother of pearl discs from a broken purse handle, I decided to flatten the floral brass caps and incorporate them in this design. I put them on long brass kidney wires, so they are long and lightweight. Simple and fun to wear.

Ornate brass filigree bead caps, slender tube beads, spikey spacers, and brass pineapple beads of natural brass add an earthy elegance and sophistication to this misty turquoisey bracelet. These lampwork beads were made from copper green moretti glass, which when melted, turns this lovely shade of blue-green. After individually shaping the beads, I rolled them in crushed raku, then returned them to the flame, which has given the effect that these beads were lightly dusted. Pineapple beads are tucked inside the beadcaps for an unusual offset for the bracelet's center.
