Elegant Smoky Quartz Large Gemstones Flexible Bracelet
If you like big gemstones and earthy hues, the large smoky quartz rounds of this estate bracelet will captivate you instantly. This impressive bracelet measures 11/16" wide across the gem portion and tapers to 3/8" at the back. The approximate inside length is 7".
Each smoky quartz stone is individually cut and polished and has a large, clear table that, by adding to the weight and depth of the stone, maximizes the color. The bracelet has 20 stones, each approximately 8mm in diameter. Since they are set I can only approximate weight but a conservative total is 24 carats. The prong settings have good, deep cups to protect the sides of the gemstones as well as the culets. The bracelet has total flexibility across the wrist since each vertical pair of stones is hinged to move independently. This unique construction and lack of a hallmark suggests the piece is not American.
The closure is a smooth bar that snaps firmly and is reinforced with an attached safety chain. The metal does not test as 10K gold so either it is gold-filled, heavily plated finish, or a lower carat gold. The condition is excellent. The stones will compliment just about any shade of earth tones while their size and richness fetch many admiring glances.

Flattering ANGEL SKIN CORAL Beads Necklace, 18 Inch, GF Clasp
This timelessly lovely necklace of genuine angel skin coral beads is 18 ¼" long and has consistent warm melon tones across the beads—a hue that flatters every complexion. The beads are 5mm in diameter and strung on nylon-coated wire so the drilled holes will not wear through. The flexible durability of the wire gives you other options like knotting the strand or using it wrapped double and knotted around a wrist. The spring-hook clasp is gold-filled (14/20 mark) and closes securely. The beads have been tested and are genuine coral. The beads drape fluidly and are in impeccable condition and certainly worthy of the small investment in a natural gem that has had allure across the centuries.

Aventurine Pendant with Koi Fish & Fortune Symbol Set with Opals, Gems
This vintage Asian aventurine gemstone pendant has two sides for twice the beauty and luck! One side of the 2 5/8" has a polished aventurine stone plaque has a gold-plated good fortune symbol for a simpler look of Eastern mystery. The other side is set with engraved golden sea flora among which swim two koi fish with opal bodies. The koi have facetted amethyst eyes and blue-green smaller accent stones are set in the sea flowers. (I’ve taken images at a few different angles to capture the fire in the opals and the colors of the stones.) Aventurine is often confused with jade; it is translucent and has speckled shades of green scattered throughout.
The 24" gold-filled, spiral link chain closes with a spring-ring clasp; its profile mimics the twisted border of the pendant very nicely. It’s in great condition and could well bestow both beauty and bounty upon the wearer!
