YELLOW JADE and PINK RHODONITE BRACELET (Cyprus Gardens)


Cypress Gardens became a showplace for 8,000 varieties of flowers from over 90 different countries, and I believe that it was one of the most beautiful places on earth. The famous gardens closed down last year, but I will long remember strolling winding paths through hundreds of trees that provided a canopy over colorful landscape and blooms, sparkling waterfall along Topiary Trails. (so glad we took lots of photos). The Plantation was home to four more traditional gardens, including herb, vegetable, rose and butterfly gardens. In the long-time tradition of Cypress Gardens, the Southern Belles strolled the lawns welcoming guests. The most robust and colorful floral landscapes were my inspiration for the Designer "Cyprus Gardens" Jewelry.
The "Cyprus Gardens" Designer Bracelet was created with soft Yellow Jade round and rondelle gemstones, Olive Green Jade, gorgeous top quality rose pink Rhodonite gemstones and talented Artist Lampwork focal by Lynn Bauter, Etsian. Detailed and Handcrafted Bali Sterling Silver beads, 925 Sterling Silver, and shiny Sterling Silver bead caps from the Karen Hill Tribes. The bracelet is finished with a stunning twisted rope design in Sterling Silver from Bali.

AMETHYST GEMSTONE BRACELET (Heather Rose) by Gonet Designs



from the HEATHER COLLECTION
Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz and is a popular gemstone. If it were not for its widespread availability, amethyst would be very expensive. The name "amethyst" comes from the Greek and means "not drunken." The Greeks were referring to the almost wine-like color of some stones that they may have encountered. Its color is unparalleled, and even other, more expensive purple gemstones are often compared to its color and beauty. Although it must always be purple to be amethyst, it can and does have a wide range of purple shades. The color purple is traditionally the color of royalty and amethyst has been used since the dawn of history to adorn the rich and powerful monarchs and rulers. Today, amethyst is a lovely and affordable gemstone that is fortunately available in a wide variety of cut and uncut stones that we can all possess and admire.
The "Heather Rose" Designer Bracelet was inspired by the deep rich color of Purple and the Birthstone for the month of February, and with the Pink Rose Quartz Gemstones, make a robust garden treasure of color.
