This centerpiece was created with two shapes, a rectangle and an "S" shape. These two shapes are coiled and attached together. Thinner wire is then used to attach beads and ornamentation. The centerpiece was used on a bracelet, but with a few adjustments can be adapted to a necklace. There are four small loops stemming out of the centerpiece, to which pearls or beads can be strung forming a bracelet.
