Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh Bracelets

I really like these little bracelets. The brown beads are myrrh - a hard resin often used for incense. The tiny gold beads are gold filled (not plated), and I have worn mine every day for a month and the gold has not flaked or worn off. The dark colored beads are garnets, but I hope to buy some frankincense (also a resin, although I've never seen it sold as a bead). If it's sturdy enough, I plan to drill the frankincense resin and string it in place of the garnet for bracelets made of gold, frankincense and myrrh. I think they'd make great stocking stuffers for Christmas. If the frankincense doesn't work out, I'll stick with garnet or other small semiprecious stone.
