I made this purchase on my phone, so I didn't notice that some of the thread was metallic. It's even lovelier in person! It's very lightweight and festive, living up to its name of Alegria. One of my most favorite Novica purchases!
I love the casual style of this bracelet. It's very well made. The cord is waxed so there is little chance of shredding. The shade of blue os not quite navy; I would say it has a bit of a purple tint. The beads are just right - not overdone. I would definitely buy a similar bracelet from this artist or buy this one again to give as a gift.
