This bracelet brings together a wonderous collection of stones: a carved howlite bone and dinosaur skull, and a stunning raw-faced spessartine garnet. Fused silver dust "dirt" surrounds these, helping create the visual of these being part of a paleontological dig site.
The backside is stamped with a part of a quote by Henry David Thoreau and is also stamped with my maker's mark (BLJ). The raised points have been polished to shine, while the low points retain the oxidized color to show off the depth and details. All metal used in this piece is sterling silver. The chain was made by hand, slow but so worth it; every link in this necklace is soldered closed for a safe, secure hold. The focal part of this bracelet is 2" wide and 1.4" tall.
This bracelet is fully adjustable, with a maximum length of 7". If you would like an extender chain added to lengthen it a bit more, please let me know in the notes at checkout!
This item is already made, and will be shipped 3-5 business days after the payment is processed. Shipping options will be available to choose upon check-out.
A few notes on caring for oxidized sterling silver: oxidized patina on sterling silver isn't particularly durable to long-term exposure to water (like bathing or swimming) or a lot of scrubbing, as friction is the way to polish silver to shine. Constant exposure to tasks such as hand washing, bathing, swimming, washing dishes, etc., will slowly wear away the oxidized patina leaving a shiny silver finish.
