The idea from Martin from Berlin:
Dear people of Urban Change Lab,
I would like to order / buy pearl bracelets from you.
My wife bought the bracelets years ago in West Africa.
In the meantime they are worn out. I could send you pictures of them…

Hello Mary,
the bracelet turned out beautifully. For another one, I would be happy if the colors were used according to the pattern (photos).

Hello Martin
My name is Mary and I’d love to make an offer for your idea. The above Bracelet is made of African Glass Beads.
I have used purple and brown beads to contrast the colors . If you’d love to have the same, I’d be more than happy to do it
I have quoted a price for this. Kindly let me know what you think.
Regards,
Mary
