WHITE COIN PEARL BRACELET (Dogwood Blossom)


When the Dogwwod Tree is in full bloom, the four large, white, notched bracts or petallike growths surrounding the small head of flowers give the most beautiful ornamental effect.
The inspiration for the Dogwood Blossom Designer Bracelet came from the dreamy white flowers that seem to accentuate the pearl white in the Freshwater Cultured Coin Pearls. The white coin pearls, with creamy white base color, excellent luster and opalescent highlights, compliment the purity of the white in the flowers and the pearls.
The Dogwood Blossom Designer Bracelet was created with luscious White Freshwater Coin Pearls, South Sea Shell Pearls and a double-strand is created with the smaller White Coin Pearls, all linked together with 925 Sterling Silver oval scalloped chain, Bali embellishments, Karen Hill Tribe Sterling Silver bead caps and lovely sterling toggle clasp.

WHITE COIN PEARL CHARM BRACELET (Poor Butterfly)


The inspiration for The Poor Butterfly Designer Bracelet comes from the song with Words & Music by John Golden & Raymond Hubbell.
Poor Butterfly ‘neath the blossoms waiting
Poor Butterfly, for she loved him so
The moments pass into hours
The hours pass into years
And as she smiles through her tears
She murmurs low
The moon and I
Know that he’ll be faithful
I’m sure he’ll come to me by and by
But if he won’t come back
Then I’ll never sigh or cry
I just must die Poor Butterfly
Freshwater Cultured Coin Pearls have been extremely popular over the recent years. When they first came out, they were almost prohibitively expensive, but now they are more reasonably priced for these gorgeous pearls. Coin pearls are formed by placing a disc shaped pearl bead nucleus in a mollusk (instead of a round bead nucleus). The nucleus is made from natural shell material. The white coin pearl surfaces are pretty smooth, but there are occasional bumpy spots, with creamy white base color, excellent luster and opalescent highlights.
The Poor Butterfly Designer Bracelet is created with lucious and shimmering coin pearls in 13mm - 20mm in size. Each pearl is hand-wired with 925 Sterling Silver and 925 Sterling Silver round beads. There are four shiny and intricately designed 925 Sterling Silver Butterfly Charms that adorn this bracelet so beautifully. The charm bracelet is made of 925 Sterling Silver oval links and fashions a lovely toggle clasp comprised of 925 Sterling Silver as well.
