* I've held onto the barrel bead for awhile.  I love the intricacy of these incredible handmade beads.  Words of wisdom - it reads: "Something to Do, Something to Love, Something to Hope for". Who wouldn't love this.  I've strung the beads on heavy duty elastic, and added a bevy of beads including, MOP, Ancient Roman Glass, Fresh Water Pearl, Rhinestone, and Vintage Glass.  The barrel bead is sterling silver.  

* Finished length:  Fits a natural wrist of up to 6.25"
