When Andréa Trail spotted a gemstone forte bead bracelet on a friend's wrist, it was love at first sight.  She was inspired to create her own version and set to work sourcing the materials.
 
Each bracelet is handmade by Andréa in her Toronto studio.  She creates unique color combinations using 25 beads (6 x 8mm) and strings them on a cord woven with metallic thread.  The closure is a slip knot making each bracelet fully adjustable and one size fits all.  The ends have a metal aglet and are left unadorned for comfort during wear.
