Blooming Vintage Bracelet
The rich chocolate patina of our Vintage brass findings mixes beautifully with purple lepidolite rounds and purple crazy agate puff coins and is then accented with forest green fire polished crystals. This asymmetrical design is very contemporary and easy to make shorter or longer by changing the number of links on the chain used. If green is not your favorite color, check out our other colors of fire polished crystals and switch it up.
