Warm and soulful, this exotic bracelet has an overall relaxing and subtle feel to it while at the same time the deep hues and bold components inspire a feeling of passion and profound love. A mature and elegant composition of purples and brassy yellows is balanced by the fun and unique toggle clasp and spiral heart pendant. This enchanting bracelet is a wonderful piece of jewelry that inspires strength and happiness and makes the wearer feel loved and special.

The beautiful warm purple and yellow gemstone is called mookaite and is a type of jasper found only in Australia. It is formed as a sediment in erosion zones and as a filler in cracks. It is named for where it was first found - Mooka Station - a huge sheep farm on the west side of the Kennedy Range in Western Australia. In Australia, mookaite is considered a healing stone that gives the wearer strength.

Antiqued gold-plated pewter bars are used to space the mookaite nuggets while adding a contrast of color, texture and material. These bars have a distinct Greek meandros design, which is the squared spiral pattern and also known as the Greek key. The two brass beads at either end of the bracelet are handmade beads from Africa. The woven brass bead is handmade in a village near Kumasi, Ghana and the smaller bicone bead is actually and ancient bead from Cameroon.

This art-inspired bracelet closes with an unusual toggle clasp made of a purple terra cotta ring and vintage-look engraved brass bar. A simple, but bold pewter spiral heart pendant adds some modern character to this vintage style bracelet. I will make this piece to fit your wrist size.
