The colors in this bracelet are striking - luminous as an Arizona sunset. Blue Peruvian Opal meets marbly pink Rhodochrosite in this piece, with each opal bead hand-faceted for a subtle sparkle and an angular contrast against the rounded pink beads. Ethiopian White Opal and Rose Gold-filled beads accent each side of the Rhodochrosite clusters, and a soft yellow gold carabiner clasp rounds out the piece to complement the ethereal blue of the Peruvian Opal and the pinks of the rose gold and Rhodochrosite.
All of the materials used in this handcrafted, one-of-a-kind piece are genuine and high-quality. The gold will not tarnish, and most importantly, the minerals are real and from the earth. They are special and the reason this piece exists: June Moon makes these pieces to celebrate the intersection of nature and design.
Stones Blue Peruvian Opal is a form of Peruvian Opal, the national stone of Peru. A fairly rare stone, this type of Opal does not have the typical fiery flashes of Ethiopian or Australian Opal, but it does catch the eye with its luminescence. Rhodochrosite is the state mineral of Colorado and one of the prettiest minerals I've come to know. Rhodochrosite is found in massive formations and can oftentimes be found in botryoidal (looks like bubbles or clouds) and other mesmerizing shapes. The most sought-after quality of Rhodochrosite is the beautiful contrast between the white marbly veins and - in my personal opinion - the perfect shade of pink.
