This week a good customer asked me to make a birthstone bracelet for her birthday in August, which made this weeks challenge a pleasure.
The birthstone for August is Peridot, and it's a great color for the summer because it is cool and soothing. Although I am not a lover of the color green, this green is beautiful. I used round Peridot color Swarovski crystals, mixed with clear bicone and saucer shaped Swarovski crystals and antiqued silver spacers. The combination is like having sorbet on a hot summer day.
To finish off the bracelet I used an antique silver plated pewter toggle clasp that is in the shape of a leaf. Green just called for a leaf clasp - don't you think?

Great piece! It's always nice to create custom orders. I like how you described the combination of elements in the bracelet to having sorbet on a hot summer day.
