Beaded Bracelet with Quartz & Garnet Glass, 'Tesoro'

Beaded bracelet, 'Tesoro' features a unique mix of jasper quartz semiprecious gemstones, genuine sterling silver Bali beads, and glossy garnet glass. It is made with a .925 hypoallergenic sterling silver lobster claw clasp and hook. It currently measures 7.5 inches in length but can be adjusted upon request. One-of-a-kind handmade jewelry creation by Alicia A. Bergman in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Tesoro means treasure in Spanish, and I gave it this name because each and every single bead in this bracelet to me is a unique treasure. As you can see, there are no repeating patterns, and each bead was carefully chosen to best complement the one sitting next to it. The result is a lovely and unusual mix of textures, earthy grays, and deep wine red colors. There is even a splash of red iridescent sparkle from one faceted Czech glass bead.
