Paula says - "This hand beaded Watch Bracelet comes with a new timepiece at no extra cost. It will be running when we ship it. "In my opinion, this bracelet shows design characteristics and workmanship of being Native American made. But because we can't attribute the work to a specific artist we can't legally sell it as Native American made - read more."
Will adjust to fit approximately a 5 1/2" to 9" wrist. White buckskin lining and laces.

About BeadsBeads used by Native American artists are usually round but can be flattened (rondelle) or cylindrical. They are usually made of glass and come in a variety of colors. Most are one solid color except for European Trade Beads, which are mulit-colored and sometimes decorated. Beads are measured by the "aught" system with 1/0, pronounced "one aught", being the largest. The larger the number the smaller the bead.
Seed beads are the smallest round beads, 24/0 to 4/0. 24/0 is approx. 1/32 inch
(about the size of a grain of sand). Seed beads are used mainly for beaded items
and embroidery. Most contemporary high-quality seed beads are made in the Czech Republic, Japan or India.
