BLUE CHALCEDONY BRACELET- (Blue Iris) by Gonet Jewelry Design

BLUE CHALCEDONY BRACELET- (Blue Iris) 




Chalcedony or calcedony, is a fine-grained variety of the silica mineral quartz. It has a waxy luster and appears in a great variety of colors - usually blue-white, buff, light tan, gray, yellow or brown. Chalcedony is named after the ancient seaport of Chalcedon (Kadikoy, Turkey).   Archaeologists have dug up Babylonian and Assyrian chalcedony cylinder-seals dating from 500 BC.  Common forms of chalcedony include agate, bloodstone, jasper, and onyx.

NATURAL AGATE BRACELET (Sunset)

Natural Agate is a beautiful natural chalcedony stone, classified as a semi precious gem and has been used by people as early as the ancient Egyptians in and before 3000 BC. Agate is still cut, shined, and shaped in the same ways it was in ancient times, and used in many of the same ways.Carnelian is a brownish red to red-orange variety of chalcedony or cryptocrystalline quartz. Its name is believed to come from a variety of cherry known as kornel.
The distinctive red-orange color of carnelian is a result of trace amounts of iron. Sometimes the name Sard is used to refer to the darker colors of carnelian, though there is no clear distinction between carnelian and sard. Natural Carnelian material may be heated to enhance color and still keep it natural looking.The most important carnelian deposits are found in Brazil, Uruguay, India and Madagascar.

The Sunset Designer Bracelet was created with Natural Agate and Deep Red Carnelian Gemstones, in Red, Orange, Brownish Red and some Yellow Orange with Natural Striations. Shiny, smooth pillow shapes and Deep Red Carnelian rondelle shapes. Basic, natural beauty, and bright as a warm Sunset. Glowing!
Bali Sterling Silver beads, and an illuminating 925 Sterling Silver toggle clasp from the Karen Hill Tribes. This piece is "The Little Black Dress" Basic, simple yet elegant and captivating.

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.

AFRICAN GREEN JADE BRACELET (Rainforest) SAFARI COLLECTION

African Jade is actually translucent green garnet. This gemstone is mined in the reaches of Africa, and for this reason gets its name. African Jade is also called Transvaal Jade. It has an appearance that resembles Nephrite, but its real composition is green Garnet, mined in Africa. African Jade is a semiprecious gemstone. It is not a real jade, but actually an opaque grossular garnet that resembles jade. There are other colors of this garnet; It can be light green, white, or pink.

The Rainforest Designer Bracelet was inspired by the lush greenery of the Cameroon Rainforest in Western Africa. Cameroon's forest is in an economically stable part of West Africa and is one of the largest.
