Dark & Brooding

I made this bracelet some time ago, disassembled it and re-assembled it on last evening. I thought i might have shared it here before but, apparently not. Anyhoo, it's a combo of artisan OE's and Steampunkbeads and Onyx Agates. Making TB masculine can at times be a challenge but with this lot, I think i achieved my goal with little to no difficulty!

You have some amazing beads! It must be hard making a masculine bracelet with all of the teddy bears and hearts and teacups nowadays. You managed to do it in spades! Great bracelet.

Thanks Nancy! You're right, there are challenges but it's so worth it when it comes together!

Looks like a combination in harmony...

If is fantastic. I am staring at all the patterns, particularly in the stones and the steampunk beads.

Wow, fantastic bracelet. OMG how many Old Earths? Your soooo lucky. The steampunk are so Interesting. What are the two silver bead next to the clasp?

Great combo, love how you put your stamp on it!

very strong combo, I like it. What's the lock?

Yes, it's a perfect and gorgeous masculine combo.

Perfect. Very dark and mysterious. You have excellent taste Chuck.

I am in love with the steampunkbeads !! Beautifull combination !!

Those steampunk beads are the best. I saved that artist as a favorite, but haven't taken the plunge yet.

My first thought was, just like Irish Spring- Manly yes, but I like it too!!!

Handsome combo you've got there!

Great combination, looks really smart

Thanks for the swell comments! the lock for those interested is RBF, the OE's are Kathy Perras & Eagle Bay Designs, Lava & onyx agates are TB, Steampunk beads are bullfrog I-ching beads and the silvers are retired Chamilia.

Awesome bracelet!

Great combo!

Very "Blokie" but I'd still steal it and wear it if I had the chance !

thanks guys!

Very cool, I love it too. I love it's chunkiness and "toughness".

Very nice. Strong and handsome.

that is stunning wonderful! Your agathes are a dream and those steampunks are really eye catching - very musculine! (but I would like to wear it too from time to time - does that mean anything..... )
