Handmade African Opal Bracelet
It's easy to see lush green plants and rich earth in these amazing
African Green Opals. These stones blend so well with Bali
beads
and Thai Hill Tribe silver that one doesn't adorn the other, they
just mutually flatter!
African Green Opals have a richness and a depth that defy description.
Like all opals they play with light in unique ways - their greens
changing from bright, bold green in outdoor light, to minty
green, to soft, muted brown-green
indoors.
The African Green Opal doesn't have the fiery opalescent flash typical
of the traditional gemstone Opal. It is a true Opal, along with Pink
Opal, Honey Opal and others. The African Green Opal is found in a
province in South Africa. To date this variety of Opal has not been
found anywhere else.
All of the beads and cones (on each end of the bracelet) are Bali
Sterling.
The charms are Thai Hill Tribe silver.
The clasp and extender chain are Sterling.
The bracelet is 7 1/2 inches long. The
extender chain is 1 inch.
Thai Hill Tribe Silver has a very high silver content
(97-99%)
and is
handcrafted by silversmiths in the hills of Northern Thailand using
traditional tribal methods passed down from generation to generation.
Bali silver is handcrafted by silversmiths in Indonesia and is usually
very detailed and intricate. The silver content is the same as Sterling
(92.5%) or higher.
