Rosa
'Three wire-wrapped pale pink rhodochrosite nuggets attach to a hand-forged fine silver chain, finished with a handmade fine silver clasp. Named 'Rosa' for the stone, originating in South America, which is sometimes called 'Rosa del Inca', or 'Inca Rose' The Incas believed rhodochrosite to be the blood of former rulers that had been turned to stone (!) This bracelet has been tumbled to harden and polish the silver, then oxidised and polished up to give it a darker, antiqued effect. This bracelet is 9" long in total, but as these are chunky beads it will comfortably fit a 6.75-7.25" wrist.
