And so the story...

I bought these stones as green mist jasper on a Tucson Gem Show scouting adventure. Under the glass in the studio the rockhound in me finds them very interesting – they have the rolling ball look that you find in rhyolite not so much in jasper. Lovely, really lovely. (Did I just quote Bridget Jones?) I partnered them with green baroque ringed freshwater pearls, with just enough personality and as an interesting contrast to the jasper, I think. And to spark it all, I added Czech Jablonex glass in a baroque nugget shape and a highly faceted and very glittery round bead. You know me…I love the unexpected…in jewelry, that is! The gemstone nuggets measure about 10mm x 15mm and are polished and softly faceted. The glass beads and freshwater pearls are about 10mm in size. Substantial but not over-the-top and the bracelet feels magnificient on the wrist.   Closing with an adjustable sterling silver toggle clasp – fits at 7 ½” and 8” so you can get a fit that is just right. Hey, kind of like Goldilocks.
