ocean and sky rope bracelet 824

One of my favorite color combinations light blue and light turquoise green that combined recall the atmosphere of southern latitudes. These photos are a bit on the cool side so the green is not quite as bright as it is in sunlight. The blue cords are on the outside the green is in the center.


This is a nice medium 8" inside diameter that will stretch slightly. This design is also available in smaller sizes to fit teens and children as well as larger sizes to fit bigger hands.
