under the sea





I wanted to name this bracelet the drop off but felt that didn't sound too gem seductive and I shouldn't obliquely refer to Finding Nemo, even if it is a wonderful movie that I've seen far too many times (I'm very well versed in the movies of Pixar). This bracelet looks like a treasure from the sea. A strand of apatite chips resemble the clear aqua of tropical island waters. Flourite beads cast a spectrum of purples. Lepidolite ovals add soothing lavender with irridescent labradorite rounding out the mix. Consider it spring break on your wrist, without the regret of having too much to drink. Sterling silver clasp, 8" in length. $41

do the conga



This bracelet is very similar to the nautilus, but it's a bit different too. A veritable conga line of gemstones, I still can't figure out the stone that's the centerpiece (as I said earlier, when in doubt, agate, so that's what I'll go with). The other gemstones that join in this dance on your wrist are carnelian, turquoise, pearl, garnet, jade, coral, apatite, mookaite, lepidolite, sterling silver beads and glass.  7-3/4" in length with a sterling silver clasp. Bracelets can be customized to fit your wrist, if lengthened a nominal fee is added for the extra gemstones. $41

the nautilus



This bracelet is a glorious symphony of color but the main stone was actually hard for me to part with. It's incredible to see the nautilus shape in the stone. And for the life of me I don't know what type of stone it is. When in doubt it's usually agate, so that's what I'm going with. The other gemstones that join in this party on your wrist are carnelian, turquoise, mookaite, pearl, garnet, jade, apatite, sterling beads and glass.  7-3/4" in length with a sterling silver clasp. Bracelets can be customized to fit your wrist, if lengthened a nominal fee is added for the extra gemstones. $41

Blue-green



SOLD please email me if you like what you see and would like a similar piece. 

What color pops into your head when you read blue-green? Is it teal or turquoise? Do you think of cyan and the color wheel? Perhaps you're more geographically minded and it brings to mind the colors of the sea and sky, Bermuda blue or azure? I just learned from the intrepid folks at wikipedia that in certain languages blue and green are considered a single color, I've heard of romance languages but colorblind ones? Don't even get me started on what pops into your head when you read chartreuse. This bracelet goes the blue-green spectrum with turquoise, jade, aventurine, apatite and glass beads. There are also some very non blue-green sterling beads, pearls and wood. Measures 7-3/4" in length with sterling silver clasp. Bracelets can be customized to fit your wrist, if lengthened a nominal fee is added for the extra gemstones. $47
