Oxidized Bronze

TB mentioned that bronze did not oxidize enough to make the X links look as nice a silver if they did them in bronze. But here are some bronze beads by a Finnish maker, some shiny and some oxidized. I hope TB will reconsider, as I really love bronze since gold is too expensive!

Thanks for sharing this. I really like the bronze bracelet and some of the charms.

My X bronze links, have a dull oxidised look to them already   I would like to see some more decorative charms in bronze

Ooo I like some of those abstract beads !

Yes thank you, just what I needed - to be reminded of Kalevala bronze, an old love of mine... Ooooo, so they're doing charms now as well, oooo - someone flash me with a neuralyzer please!!  

Wow, I like the pyramids. Thanks for sharing.

oh my... these are very very cool. the oxidized bronze is beautiful. i have never really considered bronze as jewelry, but x and this have been winning me over... since i am officially broke with my gold tb bracelet, this would go well with it!!!!

Found these on another site for a bit less (minus VAT) but shipping to the US is very expensive. There is a silver pyramids too. This bit is interesting about the company "a company of 4000 Finnish women".

That site also lists retailers by country.  So it might be worth a phone call or email to a shop in your own country to see if they have or can get the beads you want.

For the US, it lists an agent in Minnesota.
