In this example the orbs are set in a "cage" of three silver wires and the chi of good luck residing in each bead is thus protected. Each of the 37 orbs is connected to the next with a small O ...click for details

Pink gold overlay on alternating beveled links and within the larger ovals, create visual contrast to the subtle patterns. More unusua ...click for details
