Dark-hued cosmetics appeared in the nineties with names and colors inspired by the less-than-savory characteristics of the urban landscape, like oil slicks and smog. This 8" bracelet has colors of urban decay, the endless pavement and dark oil slicks. It's made of borosilicate glass teardrops, handblown by artists at Unicorne Beads. Most colors, like the lustrous blue-black-gold here, are custom mixed and each bead is carefully made and annealed in a high temperature kiln for greater strength. The beads are strung on smooth satin cord and attach to silver-plated brass components and magnetic clasp for easy fastening.

Cost: $45.00 USD
