PERIDOT GEMSTONE BRACELET (Alyssa)

Peridot is the birthstone of August and signifies joy and happiness in marriage. Peridot is known to have been mined by the Egyptians over three thousand years ago. Today, it is mined in Brazil, Tanzania, Pakistan, and Mexico.

The word peridot, although said to be French, may get it's origins from the Arabic word faridat, meaning gem. Olivine is another word used by mineralogists because of it's olive color.

Peridot, a variety of chrysolite, is a light to olive green, moderately hard, transparent mineral that is cut and graded as gemstones.

The inspiration for the Alyssa Designer Bracelet came from the Birthstone Month of August. Oval faceted and smooth round Peridot gemstones accentuated by illuminating South Sea Shell Pearls, 925 Sterling Silver detailed tube for the focal. 925 Sterling Silver beads and Sterling Silver bead caps from the Hill Tribes. A lovely 925 Sterling Silver Figaro chain holds three Peridot and Karen Hill Tribe Silver treasures. The closure is a shiny Sterling Silver toggle clasp from the Karen Hill Tribes.

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.

BLUE LACE AGATE BRACELET (Delphina)

Delphina is Greek, meaning "Woman from Delphi". Delphi was a city in Ancient Greece, which possibly was derived from 'Dolphin' of the Blue Seas. Blue lace Agate was found in the isolated African desert, and was first uncovered in the early 1960's by an American prospector, George Swanson, who lived in Springbok, South Africa. The name, "blue lace" because of the blue, lavender laced color. This is a very scarce semi-precious gemstone, and these gorgeous agates are found in vein deposits with dolomite in the district of Karasburg, Namibia.The inspiration and beauty of these gemstones come from the soothing blue color that I refer to in my own description, Delphina, from Dolphin of the Blue Seas.
