Concentrating Test

This bracelet took me quite a lot of time to finish, much more than it would normally take for this kind of work. I decided to stitch it in repeating segments, but didn't expect it to be such a difficult test of my concentration! (am I getting old?! :D ) I had to unpick the work several times because I mixed up the order of the beads time after time. Eventually, after almost 6 hours, I was able to call it a finished piece...

    To the best of my knowledge, these clasps are manufactured by a local jewelry-making supllier
    can be found only in Israel.
