Ethiopian (or Welo) opal and amethyst rondelles arranged in an asymmetrical pattern of half solid amethyst/ half alternating opal and amethyst. the opals are graduated in size with the smallest towards the clasp. the largest is center where the two patterns meet, and is framed by sterling silver spacer beads. the entire beaded length is 7 inches measuring without the clasp. there is a dainty extender chain, terminating in a single tiny wire wrapped amethyst, that provides another inch of length. the bracelet is made from high quality jewelry wire and .925 sterling silver hardware. special care must be given to opal jewelry, as it is more absorbent and delicate than other gemstones. exposure to water will dull the fire and turn the opal brittle and yellowish brown. when not wearing, it is recommended the opal jewelry be stored in an airtight bag. see my closet for more precious and semi precious gemstone jewelry.
