The style of this bracelet makes me think of cobblestone paths and clear blue water and sky. In my thinking, amazonite is just a lovely peaceful gemstone. I found these particular stones in Tucson in 2009 (yes, 2009) and they have been hanging on my inspiration board waiting for a design that would do them justice. Well, it only took 17 months to come up with a design that makes me happy and shows off the gemstone. Czech Jablonex glass faceted firepolish clear beads glitter and glisten and are the perfect companion for the amazonite and the ivory Czech glass big pearls. While this is a “cuff style” bracelet, it isn’t a true cuff since it is flexible and closes with a slide tube clasp. Silver-plate option shown in the picture. The clasp keeps the three strands in line and gives the look of a cuff style. However, there is no extender option with this type of clasp – and this particular design is best for a small- to medium-size wrist. Measures 7 ½” long. Handmade in the USA of imported components.
