Carribean Blues! New Bracelet

I often get inspiration from photos I've taken where I've been privileged to witness nature's truly wonderful gifts. This photo taken on the U.S. Virgin Island of St. John, and the blues of the water inspire this beach-themed summer charm bracelet. The shell and starfish charms were hand-made by me of fine silver - using a mold I made of a real clam shell for the shell charm, and sculpting the starfish freehand. The other charms were constructed of a beautiful blue faceted Amazonite gem stone, small white freshwater coin pearls, beach glass, swarovski crystals and sterling silver. I am pleased with the look of this bracelet, and as is so often the case, it is hard to capture it's essence in a photo. I've tried under several light conditions and with a few different backgrounds. The picture above was taken outside in natural light and seemed to be about the best I could do. The blues are not showing up as beautiful as they really are, the silver not as shiny and the pearls have a opalescent luster in real life. Trust me on this one!
