Keys and Crystals

(2009) 9"x 3", delica beads (matte black, silver-lined white opal, blue-grey metallic iris), tourmaline Swarovski crystal beads.

A key-pattern that didn't form a full circle - if I'd closed it on itself the bracelet would have been either too large or too small to wear - but you know the old saying: if life gives you lemons...

I used the irregularity to lace up the bracelet with a few crystal beads for a nice asymmetrical accent.
