A handful of the winter hedge for the wrist. Black beadwork lace, woven in the round, carries clusters of garnet-red glass berries and leaves of iridescent dark green — the same thicket as the Obsidian collar, cut down to a cuff.

The berries sit up off the band and move when you do; the clasp is gold-tone and simple, because nothing else about it is.

One of a kind — this is the only one. Arrives gift-ready.

Czech glass seed and bugle beads, glass berry beads, gold-tone clasp. Recommendations: do not wet, protect from chemicals and perfume, store flat. Handcrafted; measurements are approximate.

The tale of this motif

Folk motifs carry meanings older than writing — poppies guard the home, wheat calls the harvest, birds watch over travellers.

Beads for the night side

Black glass has a long memory: Victorian mourning jewellery was strung from it, and a black-ground gerdan makes every red burn brighter. Our skulls, bats and serpents are beaded exactly like the poppies — the same seed beads, the same hands in Ukraine — only the motifs have changed.
