"Bellflower Bracelet"

This bracelet is a showstopper; dramatic in its colors of khaki and fuschia and graced with a stunning antique Victorian gold filled repousse floral locket. The central portion is a hand-chained collection of over one hundred mixed gems, lustrous and sparkling; each is hand wrapped onto a gold filled headpin. Included are pale gold pearl drops, tourmaline, pinky-brown andalusite, champagne citrine, smoky quartz, and spessartine garnet. These are decorated with crowns of champagne seed pearls, garnets and bright fuschia rubelite quartz. This ruffle of gems is flanked by embossed vermeil spacers and cheery fuschia aventurine ovals. The clasp is a secure lobster claw finished in a matte vermeil to echo the matte design on the lovely locket. Placed, not at the clasp as might be expected, but on the wristbone, this special treasure won’t bang on the table with your every move.
