This is a bangle made for The Wire Artisans Guild challenge Stardust and our great re-opening of our Etsy team store on Valentines day.
The movie Stardust begins and ends with the beautiful Lady Una living in the magical world of Fairie. Lady Una is kept as a slave for Madame Semele. She gives birth to the main character, Tristan, but has to leave him to his father who lives in "the real world". Lady Una is very much a charachter in the background, but the end of the movie reveals her well kept secret.
The colours of Lady Unas teal dress and the yellow/red carriage of Madame Semele (Ditchwater Sal) inspired me to make this bangle.
The bangle and focal, together form a clasp. You can see on the last image how to open and close the bangle. The trick is to angle the focal.
Material:
925 sterling silver and 999 fine silver wire and findings. Alex topaz briolettes (heat treated), ruby leaves and rondelles, citrine briolette and smooth rondelles and white cultured white fresh water pearls. Oxidized and tumbled to a nice shine.
Size:
The bangle fits an arm between 6"-7"/15-17cm. It moves around a bit on a smaller arm.
Faced with turning old canes into mud, I remembered Donna Kato's "what you have" kaleidoscope cane. Didn't make a kaliedoscope though. See cane in the making: flic.kr/p/cjFR3d

It is tradition that the bride will try to wear as many small glass bangles as possible at her wedding and the honeymoon will end when the last bangle breaks.
Chooda is a kind of bangle that is worn by Punjabi women on her wedding day. It is a set of white and red bangles with stone work.
Bangles or Chudi, as they are called in Hindi, form an integral part of Indian women's attire. These are made from many different materials like glass, laad, copper and even with silver and gold (for those few who can afford gold these days :D). and are often studded with various kinds of stones. Bangles are so popular in India that they can be found in virtually every city and village. Many of the big cities have complete markets dedicated to selling bangles.
The pictures was shot at the Laad Bazaar at Hyderabad.
