Imagine an ancient Roman design, hand-woven, fine silver bracelet wrapped around the wrist of your loved one–maybe it’s your girlfriend, your wife, maybe it’s you! Each link is individually hand forged, fused, and shaped from a single loop of 18 gauge fine silver wire. Each bracelet is tumble polished for a beautiful mirror shine and adjustable from 7 to 9.5 inches.
This bracelet’s clasp is made from fine deerskin leather and a disk shaped 12mm turquoise bead. Turquoise is one of the oldest protection amulets, and was also known as a symbol of wealth in many ancient cultures.Some believe that if given a turquoise by a loving friend, the stone will protect the wearer from negative energy and bring good fortune. The turquoise is the symbol of friendship and brings peace to the home.
Turquoise is a stone that has been prized for thousands of years. It was mined more than 6,000 years ago in the Sinai desert. Ancient Egyptians, Incas and Mayans used turquoise in jewelry. The name means “Turkish stone” as it came to Europe by way of Turkey.
This Loop-N-Loop chain pattern is made with the same methods of chain making used centuries ago and found in archeological sites around the globe. Similar methods of construction are found in Egyptian, Hellenistic, Etruscan, Roman, Chinese, Indian and South American cultures. These bracelets will drape you in the sophistication of cultures long gone.
