Description
The white marks are not paint. Alkali is drawn into the surface of the stone and fired, which bleaches the pattern permanently into the top layer.
Shapes run from long barrels to squat drums, and the sequence is deliberately uneven — the two largest beads sit next to each other at the front.
Knotted between beads on doubled cord so a break loses one bead rather than the whole bracelet.

Beautiful piece and the box it arrives in is lovely. Half a star off because I had to email to ask about the chain length.

Worn daily for a year and it still looks like the day it arrived. The resize was done in three days and cost nothing, exactly as promised.

Exactly as described. It sits slightly higher on the collarbone than I expected — worth measuring first.

The photographs are honest — it is the same colour of gold in daylight as it is on the page, which I did not expect.
