Pink and Green FANCY JASPER BRACELET (Mulberry)

The Inspiration for the Mulberry Designer Bracelet comes from the Mulberry trees found almost everywhere in the United States, but I remember them most in New England, where they grow in late summer and early spring.Ripe mulberries come in different colors: red, white, pink, and black. These colors are attributed to two different species and their hybrids. One would have to use mulberries immediately, because they won't last but a few days, However, the Mulberry Designer Bracelet will last a lifetime with a little care.
The Mulberry Designer Bracelet is created with Fancy Jasper gemstones which is indicative of the green and pinkish berries. This Bracelet is smothered in lots of Sterling Silver from the Karen Hill Tribes with a little Bali Sterling Silver found in between all of the rich adornments. The closure is a shiny sterling silver toggle clasp and attached is an illuminating double sided sterling silver flower all from the Karen Hill Tribes.

RED AGATE BRACELET (Sadie)


Red Agate is a natural agate. Semi-transparent with shades of orange and red. Red Agate is found mainly in Brazil and Madagascar.Agates are semi-precious gemstones that are a variegated form of chalcedony which is silicon dioxide in the form of microscopic fibrous quartz crystals. Agates naturally develop when an empty pocket inside a host rock fills in molecule-by-molecule, layer-by-layer as these microcrystals self organize to form concentric bands or other patterns. The colors and arrangement of the microcrystals are influenced by changes in pressure, temperature, and mineral content that occur during the formation process. Unlike other gemstones, each agate is unique. Even slabs cut from the same specimen will vary in color and design.
When chalcedony is red (the stone usually has to be heated to bring out the color), it is called carnelian, the most popular single bead gemstone.
Carnelian ranges in color from a dark brown (also known as sard), to a red, an orange, and even a yellow shade.
The Sadie Designer Bracelet was created with the best in natural Deep Red Agates, oval and smooth round semi prescious gemstones. Deep Red faceted Carnelian gemstones accentuate the beauty of the double-stranded Designer Bracelet. The focal, is a Deep Orange-Red Agate twisted, faceted, gemstone.

WHITE COIN PEARL CHARM BRACELET (Poor Butterfly)


The inspiration for The Poor Butterfly Designer Bracelet comes from the song with Words & Music by John Golden & Raymond Hubbell.
Poor Butterfly ‘neath the blossoms waiting
Poor Butterfly, for she loved him so
The moments pass into hours
The hours pass into years
And as she smiles through her tears
She murmurs low
The moon and I
Know that he’ll be faithful
I’m sure he’ll come to me by and by
But if he won’t come back
Then I’ll never sigh or cry
I just must die Poor Butterfly
Freshwater Cultured Coin Pearls have been extremely popular over the recent years. When they first came out, they were almost prohibitively expensive, but now they are more reasonably priced for these gorgeous pearls. Coin pearls are formed by placing a disc shaped pearl bead nucleus in a mollusk (instead of a round bead nucleus). The nucleus is made from natural shell material. The white coin pearl surfaces are pretty smooth, but there are occasional bumpy spots, with creamy white base color, excellent luster and opalescent highlights.
The Poor Butterfly Designer Bracelet is created with lucious and shimmering coin pearls in 13mm - 20mm in size. Each pearl is hand-wired with 925 Sterling Silver and 925 Sterling Silver round beads. There are four shiny and intricately designed 925 Sterling Silver Butterfly Charms that adorn this bracelet so beautifully. The charm bracelet is made of 925 Sterling Silver oval links and fashions a lovely toggle clasp comprised of 925 Sterling Silver as well.
