Beaded Bangle

Ten grams of solid 14K gold, beaded the whole way round. The weight is the point — it sits where you put it instead of riding up your forearm the way a hollow bangle does. Beading breaks the light in small increments rather than one flat shine, so it reads as texture from across a room, not just up close. Snap-lock clasp: it goes on one-handed, and it stays shut. Wear it alone, or let it anchor a stack of thinner pieces.
