This bangle has wear to it, but it still has a true Greek revival Victorian beauty that you can enjoy for a great price. The theme of the engraving work is centered around an angular Greek style design flanked by stylized leaves. The safety chain is missing from this bracelet but the clasp is in good working condition and snaps shut securely. There is wear to the gold wash especially on the edges of the cuff. 1/2 inch wide. 2-1/8 x 1-5/8 inches wide.
I really like the matrices in Hubei turquoise and these don't disappoint. The range of colors is really nice. I have combined these beads with shell heishi (also available from Earthly Adornments), silver and carnelian, the result is stunning (friend's opinion). Next project will be with citrine and brass. They are very versatile.
This is the second or third time I have purchased this bead. It is very unique and works well with lots of colors and styles. I made a bracelet last month with several of these beads in it. I did not even get a chance to list the bracelet, someone bought it off my arm (I test drive my pieces).
I highly recommend it as I do working with Earthly Adornments - they are professional, very helpful and knowledgeable. They have an excellent supply of vintage and antique beads.
