I made a few new Bracelets . In this first one , I use a PURPLE Czech Glass GLITTER Mirror Back ART DECO Button and some Yummy Amethyst , all this wrapped in Brass and copper . I really like Amethyst , when i was a kid i use to have a rough geode amethyst chunk , it was my very first precious stone .

This next one , i made with a lady watch movement and some clear crystal quartz . The clockwork still runs , we can see some of the tiny gears moving and hear the ticking sounds .

Nicely done! Both pieces are unique - I love the quirkiness of using the watch part. How fun!

Beautiful! I know what you mean about amethyst. I still have one of those chunks!

Both gorgeous in their own way. Love the quirkiness of the working watch parts. And I adore amethyst as well...
