Hand Beaded Cherry Blossoms Bracelet

Beaded bracelets have been made and worn for thousands of years. In certain cultures the bead bracelets have religious or spiritual significance. Ancient Egyptians wore bead bracelets made from bones, stones and woods as well as other materials, for religious and spiritual reasons. The Native American Indians have worn bead bracelets dating back to pre-historic times. It is said that beaded bracelets give the wearer a certain luck and energy. It was also believed that the meaning of the bracelet and what it symbolizes depends on what color the beads are or the image depicted. Cherry blossoms represent spring, a time of renewal. They can also represent the fleeting nature of life, since their blooming season is so short-lived. Although cherry blossoms often bloom for only 2 weeks, this bracelet will last much longer than a fortnight. Bright pink and red glass seed beads “bloom” on a clean, white background. The extension chain makes this bracelet measure @ 6.5-7.5 inches and it fastens securely with a lobster claw clasp.
