Bard Bracelets II and III

Okay, since my bard bracelet got a decent amount of attention recently I decided to try to revisit the concept. So two new ones. Both are up for grabs.

The top is helm weave like the original and another is byzantine. Byzantine threw me for a loop, since it wasn't possible to do every other open pair on the correct side I had to do every pair and that meant trying to come up with relevant pieces that would be smaller so that they wouldn't overlap too much...

On the plus side I think I like the round cameos better. I like my original rectangles because they show more of the original image, but I think the oval suits both weaves better.

Beware, list of mild to moderate arcana below

Bard Bracelet II (helm weave)

The chain is silver and gold plate, the toggle is silver plate, charms mostly jeweler's brass, assorted materials, real pearls, image domes acrylic

-key:
"But, O,
What shall I say to thee, Lord Scroop? thou cruel, 730
Ingrateful, savage and inhuman creature!

That knew'st the very bottom of my soul,
That almost mightst have coin'd me into gold," Henry V

"Not a whit, we defy augury. There is special providence in
the fall of a sparrow. If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it be not to
come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come—the
readiness is all. Since no man, of aught he leaves, knows what is't
to leave betimes, let be." Hamlet

Of his bones are coral made;
