When a customer asked if I would consider designing a bracelet for some beads she had purchased I was so flattered. This is one of four sets I designed for her.

The blue-aqua pillow beads with goldstone running through is stunning, and reminded me of the ocean. There are small charms on each of the chunks (look below for close-ups), an "S" rope toggle that gives you a reminder of a sea net, Swarovski crystals in copper, a deep blue topaz, and silk (a dreamy color), aqua quartz faceted rondelles and rounds (10mm), topaz flower glass cups, polymer clay roses, and small acorn pearls in bronze and honey.

Honestly, when I first opened the box with the sets of beads and I saw these it made my heart dance. I can't describe how lovely they are in words, but it makes you think of the ocean right away...as if you're looking down into the water and you see the sun shining through to the ocean's floor...

Originally I had picked a different song for this but that was before it was finished. The tropical feel made me decide on Kokomo. It's easy to listen to, and it puts you in a different place.

Bodies in the sand
Tropical drink melting in your hand
We'll be falling in love
To the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in kokomo

This part in the song takes me RIGHT THERE! I love it...

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
Bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why don't we go
Jamaica

Off the florida keys
There's a place called kokomo
That's where you wanna go to get away from it all

Bodies in the sand
Tropical drink melting in your hand
We'll be falling in love
To the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in kokomo

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why don't we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
Well get there fast
And then well take it slow
That's where we wanna go
Way down to kokomo

To martinique, that monserrat mystique

Well put out to sea
And well perfect our chemistry
By and by well defy a little bit of gravity

Afternoon delight
Cocktails and moonlit nights
That dreamy look in your eye
Give me a tropical contact high
Way down in kokomo

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why dont we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
Well get there fast
And then well take it slow
That's where we wanna go
Way down to kokomo

Port au prince I wanna catch a glimpse

Everybody knows
A little place like kokomo
Now if you wanna go
And get away from it all
Go down to kokomo

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why dont we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
Well get there fast
And then well take it slow
That's where we wanna go
Way down to kokomo

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why don't we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
