The Solitary Stone

A bracelet – a cuff – a wrist ornament that holds another showpiece – the solitary stone. A work of wearable art that is admired – at a glance – especially by the wearer.  

“All The Light We Cannot See” flashes a Mohave Turquoise in one of my favorite color combinations: turquoise and copper with a touch of purple. Surrounded by sterling silver twisted rope and accents, stone is set in a copper embossed textured bracelet measuring 1" at its widest.  This very comfortable to wear piece fits an average 6" size wrist.

One of my stonecutters, Jason Brousseau, explained the Mohave Stone as composite materials in turquoise, green or purple. At the Kingman Mine, they take all the turquoise scraps and recycle them. They stabilize them, dye them, mix them with a bronze matrix and compress them into blocks so lapidary artists can cut cabs. It's beautiful stuff.

Rave reviews from Facebook followers: Cindy Townsend – That combination is gorgeous!!  Bonnie Gier Strasburger – This is just breathtaking!  Carol Akers – So beautiful, reminds me of the desert.  Jeanne Snider Bennett – Drop dead beautiful!!!  Lori Devlin - Oh my! Your bracelets are lovely!  Georgia Marshall – Oh this is a beauty!!!  Virginia B. Smith – Simply beautiful. Bonnie Bass Rigdon – Gorgeous!

A plain sheet of sterling silver holds all possibilities!  “Liberty” cuff features a centerpiece of oval onyx in a bezel setting on a 1" wide sterling silver hand-stamped band that fits an average 6" size wrist.

The Onyx stone is thought to have a restorative nature – like the stillness of the night sky – inspiring feelings of personal power – dispelling self-doubt and anxiety for a richer, more meaningful life experience.

“Plateau Of Dreams” showcases a #8 Turquoise stone cut by Jason Brousseau, NM. The famous #8 Mine is one of the greater American Mines located in Eureka County just north of Carlin, Nevada. Stone is set on a sterling silver roller printed platform bracelet measuring 2" x 1½" with sterling silver accents.

A solitary stone set in sterling silver creates a solid show-off statement piece.
