Sea Swirl bracelet (full day)

Let your mind float serenely in the gently rolling surf while you create this fantastic wave inspired bracelet. The undulating lines of Theresa's exquisite design beautifully emulate the eternal motion of waves. The bracelet is built around a gorgeous cabochon centerpiece (turquoise pictured) bezeled into a fine silver setting to create a stunning, one-of-a-kind clasp. Unique spiraling links are creatively intertwined to achieve a soft, flowing effect for the sterling silver bracelet. This workshop will refine soldering and wire working skills while you create a beautiful masterpiece that will be with you forever.

Kit cost for 18 g Sterling Silver wire to complete the bracelet and fine silver bezel and sterling silver sheet for stone bezel $25.00. Some cabochons will be available for purchase.
