Olivine Swarovski Crystal & Pearl Bracelet

Multi strand bracelet is made with one strand of light green Swarovski crystal pearls and two strands of olivine colored Swarovski crystals. 

Each crystal is individually crocheted to matching colored artistic wire forming three separate strands that are braided together, creating this wonderful lightweight bracelet.

I attached a different clasp to this bracelet which is a lobster-claw (silver filled) along with silver filled findings.

DahlishKnits has a shop on handmadeartists.com, and Gina is the creative owner. Her shop motto tells you what you’ll find inside, “One of-a-kind knits for the child in your life.” I crochet yarn, so you can say I’m more hook than needle. 

So, I had to research knitting. So, I went to this site > CraftYarnCouncil < I’ll paraphrase one fact about Crochet and Knitting I found interesting.

My mother said to me, “Do you use Sea Glass?” I replied,” Only when I read.” My mother looked perplexed then burst out laughing so hard I thought she’d fall of her sofa. 

Well, after she quit laughing and snorting, she wiped the tears from her eyes and showed me an article in the paper. It was about Sea Glass. That was a month ago.
