SOLD Purchased from a private estate and now available for purchase,
this gorgeous two stone rare coral and Burnham Turquoise giant spider on a spiderweb
Tufa cast bracelet!
Love the unique plan of design taken to create such beauty. Tufa cast is a unique way of
creating jewelry by actually cutting the design into a lava rock then pouring silver into that rock
creating the unique a kind silver formation.
Thanks to the recent activity of the Kilauea Volcano on the big island of Hawaii...
we won't be running out of lava rock for jewelry artists anytime too soon!
By looking closely at the large spider attached to the Tufa Cast bracelet it looks as though
it was soldered on after the Tufa Cast bracelet was created.
Stones chosen are of the best quality Burnham Turquoise and orange coral, which incidentally is illegal
to now remove from the ocean due to the coral beds all being destroyed by oil spills that have occurred in the ocean.
Signed LO OR LC.
Weight is 95.9 grams. This bracelet has a width of 1 7/8"W. Measuring the inside of the bracelet all the way around
on the inside this measures 6 3/4". This includes the bracelet's opening. Opening alone is 1 7/16"W.
Cuff measures 1 3/8" W. This cuff does not taper but rather is consistent in it's width end to end.
Spider alone measures 2 1/4" W round and 2 3/4"L round.
This bracelet will be fun to wear as it is for sure eye catching.
When I think of the person who would wear such a bracelet as this I think
of someone who not only is "one with nature"
...in other words someone not "afraid of spiders"...
but rather someone who embraces the usefulness of the spider in nature as well as
a person with a unique personality who isn't afraid to express him or herself.
Also someone who likes "one of a kind jewelry" like this piece is.
This bracelet is for someone who already has several bracelets and who wants to add to their unique collection...
If you are not yet a jewelry collector ...just think...this could be the start of something really "great"!
Thanks for looking!
