The “Essences of Gemstones” bracelet with hand- faceted “essence” stones! This bracelet literally glows!","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOTICE: These are GENUINE gemstones! In addition to using genuine gemstones, I also use durable components that will outlast every elastic bracelet on the market. Elastic bracelets will wear out quickly and break, whereas my bracelets will give you years of wear!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI present here a beautiful bracelet made with AAA-grade alternating labradorite and moonstone beads in various shapes and faceting, and with your choice of golden or silvery stainless steel jewelry hardware. I call it the “Essence of Gemstones” bracelet, due to their glowing characteristics being named after the stones themselves - “labradorescence”” for labradorite’s multicolored glow and “adularescence” for moonstone’s blue glow (after its mineral name, adularia). The labradorites circle the bracelet in faceted squares and faceted roundelles with a larger centered labradorite that is faceted in a twisting pattern. The moonstones circle the bracelet in faceted cubes and smooth heishi beads (“heishi” being flat but rounded tire-shaped beads). With the exception of the heishi beads, these gemstones are faceted in what is called “Indian cut” faceting - that is, facets made by Indian (from India) hands rather than being machine made! Indians take great pride in this style of faceting and spend several years under a master lapidarist (stone cutter or carver) learning the skills involved. This vocation often spans generations as the art form is passed down from grandparent to parent to child!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bracelet is strung on strong stainless steel jewelry wire. A single strand has a tensile strength of 25 pounds, meaning it will take 25 pounds of force or pull to break this wire! Both ends of the bracelet have a triple knot and wire crimp inside the “clam shell” connectors, so this lovely bracelet will stand up to years of wear! NOTE: There is a bit of length left to allow the stones to move freely, so you may notice the wire on either end of your bracelet. This is intentional and is not a flaw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOTE: The 9” anklet or men’s bracelet is finished with an S-hook closure. I can swap it out for a lobster claw clasp if preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso available are coordinating earrings that you can select from the items that populate when you add this bracelet to your cart. (Or you can just order the earrings!)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e“If it’s not good enough for me, then it’s not good enough for my customers. If I wouldn’t wear it, it doesn’t belong in my shop.”\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e - Heather Constable \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hand Knotted Jewelry","offers":[{"title":"5.5”","offer_id":54006502817976,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6”","offer_id":54006502850744,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6.5”","offer_id":54006502883512,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7”","offer_id":54006502916280,"sku":null,"price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7.5”","offer_id":54006502949048,"sku":null,"price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8”","offer_id":54006502981816,"sku":null,"price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9” (already made)","offer_id":54006519201976,"sku":null,"price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silvery stainless steel hardware","offer_id":54006503014584,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold plated stainless steel hardware","offer_id":54006503047352,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2–quartzite earrings","offer_id":54006503145656,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0975\/1527\/4424\/files\/FullSizeRender_e88c1694-27ac-4af4-9f3f-41e44f01e276.jpg?v=1788030198","url":"https:\/\/handknottedjewelry.com\/products\/labradorite-and-moonstone-bracelet-the-essences-of-gemstones-bracelet-with-hand-faceted-essence-stones-this-bracelet-literally-glows","provider":"Hand Knotted Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
