I agree w/everything everyone has said. The bracelet is just as beautiful as can be. I really like the pearl with it too - that was an inspired touch.

Is it me, or is this set and design especially meaningful now? I feel so horrified and sad for Japan. Looking at all of these gorgeous beads that pay homage to the art and culture of Japan makes this all the more poignant.

I would LOVE to copy your bracelet !!!!
I have all the beads except........
I can only find the Kimono bead in the middle (of your bracelet) on their web site, and not the other 2 on each end.
What am I doing wrong ?

I didn't realize the silvers are hard to find. Let me know here/by pm which ones you'd like.

I wondered about those various other Ohm beads as well. One thing I did figure out was that it seemed that Ohm dealers carried various portions of the selection. But then I figured out that most of the beads on Sita's beautiful bracelet were not on the ohmbeads.com website. I wondered if they are newer or discontinued or what. I did find them on beads4you.net (Dutch site) and I was able to figure out that they ship to other European countries. I have posted an enquiry at ohmbeads.com and will report back if I get a response.

Thank you for showing of your bracelet! I love the silvers as well and will follow this with interest.

I promised I would post here if I heard back from Ohm. I specifically asked about Torii Gate, Fan and Japanese clothing beads (besides the one Kimono bead). The reply was that those beads are discontinued, so a few dealers may have them left, but of course not on the ohmbeads.com website.
