Joie de Vivre jewelry

Like good manners, the colors and proportions in this bracelet are predictable without being boring. Calcite is a soft material (Mohs hardness of 3) but as long as one tries not to drop or crush the stones, they should withstand general wear. Their color is soft and pleasing like peaches and it's offset by the dark sheen of hematite. The length can be adjusted slightly from 7" to 8 1/2" with the sterling silver chain and lobster clasp.

Cost: $26.00 USD

Length: bracelet - 7"-8 1/2"

Materials:

  • calcite beads
  • hematite beads
  • sterling silver chain and lobster clasp
  • Soft Flex moderate duty nylon coated stainless steel cord (30 lb load test)

Care & cleaning: Beading cord may be kinked or broken through hard jerks or severed through prolonged exposure to rough or sharp edges; store necklace flat when not in use to prevent stretching or kinking cord. Clean with warm soapy water and avoid chemical or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft jewelry polishing cloth to clean tarnish appearing on silver.

Calcite is a soft material so care should be taken to avoid drops or impacts but the beads and beading cord should be robust to tugs and pulls. As with all beaded jewelry: do not let young toddlers chew on it.

This is a larger scale adjustable 7"-8.5" bracelet that should nicely accent casual outfits, though it may compete with some styles of long sleeves.
