(2008) 17" for the necklace, 9" for the bracelet. Art glass beads, Bali silver beads, silver clasp findings, fireline, silver wire

I cannot claim much artistic involvement with this jewelry set - except that I put it all together. I did not make any of the glass beads this time, but I wanted to showcase the art of a good DA friend of mine.

made the fantastic focal bead for the necklace, that started it all [link] . I added some art glass beads that I got from various commercial suppliers over the years and that matched the intricate blues and violets of the center bead. I also found some cool vine-shaped clasps and put together an ensemble that reminds me of the delicate colors that ensue when dew settles on red grapes when they are still on the vine and coated by their blue-white powdery residue, hence the title.
