Gorgeous Autumn Sun DIY Bracelet
From the Blogger: "This bracelet uses a porcelain focal from Golem Designs, made in Bulgaria by two artists. The bracelet can easily be modified to take advantage of the myriad of colors available from Golem. With leather remaining popular in the fashion world, this bracelet is sure to be a hit! It can easily be resized to accommodate a wide range of wrist sizes, and, depending on the colorway, could be easily designed for men as well as women."
