About this design:
That's what the colors in this bracelet remind me of - a beautiful transparent crystal rainbow. The large faceted chunks are ametrine (a combination of amethyst and citrine) and reflect deep lavender to champagne colors. The smaller stones are the most beautiful translucent pale green aquamarine stones I've ever seen. And at the end of this bracelet on both sides are fabulous faceted clear rock crystal quartz beads. Tying them all together are small round and cube beads of vermeil gold and toggle clasp.
Components:
Ametrine, rock crystal quartz, Aquamarine, gold vermeilRead the comments (or add your own)
