Pink Paella Cuff
Paella is a Spanish dish made with a mix of various ingredients such as rice, vegetables and seafood prepared in a large, shallow pan. When I was traveling through Spain during '92 through Catalunya, seafood Paella
seemed to be on the menu of every restaurant.
Typically, paella is prepared with saffron which makes it take an orangey color, however, this pink cuff has such a variety of different "ingredients" it reminded me of that flavorful dish and the wonderful
time I had in Spain.
This is probably one of the most complex bracelets I have created so far. It took me twice as long as a normal bangle to make.
I cannot describe how soft and wonderful this cuff feels on the skin. It is made of a mix of different materials, including: seashell, soapstone, rose quartz, pearls, mother of pearl mosaic, pink opal, garnet and
angel skin coral. The sterling silver beads are mostly Thai hilltribe and some Balinese -- including some whimsical "fish face" silver beads.
The bracelet is totally hand-coiled with more than 25 feet of hair-thin sterling silver wire. The bangle measures 1" and is only available via special order.
