This is a rather unique handmade crystal bracelet in that it has a white "Sputnik" bead as its central focal point. The handmade bracelet also has two large black beads with white spots, sterling silver Bali beads, and Swarovski crystals. We are always on the look out for distinctive types of glass or crystal beads; often times they become the centerpiece we design our bracelets around. Black and white themes are always timeless in handmade crystal bracelets and designer fashions.

This handmade crystal bracelet can be considered one of two ways: trendy and hip with a “retro” looking Sputnik bead or a timeless piece of jewelry with a history to tell. Either way you should own one of the two bracelets available – place your order now and avoid the disappointment of not owning this unique handmade bracelet.

Why “Sputnik”?
On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik 1. The world’s first artificial satellite, it was about the size of a basketball and weighed only 183 pounds. Sputnik’s launch marked the start of space age and the US – USSR space race. The shape of the bead with its many spokes resembles Sputnick the satellite.
