Take a tour of Japan - Kimono theme

I just LOVE Japanese culture. I have a very dear friend who's Japanese, lives in Tokyo. One of my dream trips is to visit her there...maybe one of these days

In the meantime, I have to be happy to have a little piece of it around my wrist And I AM very happy that I could complete this bracelet...



Moon Gazing Rabbit - RBF (In Japanese culture, Rabbits represent good luck)
Zen Snake - RBF (Prosperity)
Noh Masks - TB Japan WT (represents a classical Japanese musical drama)
Sacred House - TB Japan WT (a traditional wooden cottage from Ancient Japan/"prayer" house)
Haori (Kimono jacket) - RBF (meant to be worn over the Kimono to protect it from the elements)
Geisha Girl - RBF (traditional, female Japanese entertainers)

Very pretty. Do you always wear your Kimono Beads together or , like me , do you sometimes wear them apart with other beads and stones?

Beautiful!

Oh, I do like this bracelet!

I like the way the glass WT bead fits on the end and doesn't look out of place at all!

Beautiful bracelet with perfectly chosen silver beads to accompany the Kimono beads and Rising Sun

You've made a wonderful bracelet, beautifully balanced.

Yes, I like to wear them apart as well! I've got no qualms about mixing all my beads! Artisans, other brands, TB, themes, you name it! If I like it, and I think it combines well, I just do it.

For example I LOVE the color of the soft/pink/peach Kimono beads, and I think they look very elegant with other combinations. But that really goes for all of them.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments!

You have a beauty of a bracelet!

That is the best combination of all the kimono beads that I have seen, it's wonderful

That is a most beautiful bracelet
I love those beads myself and I think, the kimono set was one of the most beautiful sets TB has ever done, together with the WT-Japanese beads that is perfect!

Beautiful Bracelet

It´s a very very nice bracelet.

Fabulous bracelet, RBF silvers are great with the Kimono and World Tour, I love the sacred house but don't know where I can order it from :-(

I love the kimono set- it is the only full set from TB that I own!!

This is beautiful!

Hi Vesty,

Here is where I ordered mine from:

You always take a chance with customs, but I was lucky and it sailed right through, no fees. It was fast to arrive too! And the prices are good.

Thanks folks for all the compliments, I appreciate it!

Very pretty combination

Love it,

Lovely! The kimono set look wonderful in this combo, and they are top of my wish list....

That's a very pretty bracelet Stacecase, with a double kimonoset!

I love your choice of silver too.

How wonderful, it makes me smile
