This beautiful cluster bracelet was created using pink and purple miracle beads (see below for info on miracle beads!), as well as pink and clear crystal Czech fire polished beads, clear glass hearts and cream acrylic pearls on a silver plated chain, finished with a silver plated flower toggle clasp. Even the headpins are handmade by me!
Miracle beads are so called because when you look at them it looks as if there is a bead within the bead. This is an effect achieved by the process in which the bead is made. A lucite bead is finished using mirrored silver plate and this is then coated using multiple layers of a vibrant lacquer. As light passes through this lacquer layer it is then reflected back due to the mirrored silver plate coating inside. This reflected light gives the bead a "miraculous"; glowing quality under bright light.
UPDATE 4 MAY 2012: PLEASE NOTE THAT THE BRACELET IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS ABOVE HAS NOW SOLD. However, I can easily make another just for you - I'd just need two or three days extra to order in the materials for it.
