Shell Cuff

I got this bead a long time ago and found it when I was organizing my beads. It just seemed perfectly suited for a cuff-type bracelet based on it's shape, so I let that be my guide and inspiration. The texture and color of this bead is just amazing. It changes with movement and sunlight.
Additionally, I like things that are elegant and sometimes understated. This isn't understated, but I think the black beads provide the level of simplicity and sophistication I was looking for.
