Purple Jasper Twist



Please read the "C'mon let's do the twist" post prior to reading this one. It is the pre-requisite post, so-to-speak.

One of my favorite plants is lavender! We had lavender plants at our last home, and they were next to our garage. It was so nice to be greeted by a waft of lavender when getting out of the car and coming into the house!

Put on this lavender twist bracelet. Close your eyes, and you can pretend that you are in Provence, France, surrounded by fields of this fabulous plant with the heady fragrance. Open your eyes. Look, you have some of it encircling your wrist!

These purple jasper beads are accentuated with genuine tourmaline (pinkish) beads. Sterling silver spacers and bead-cones grace the beadwork. I sculpted and hand-forged the hook and eye clasp/closure using my tiny pliers, hammer and anvil. (The bracelet ring does not slip off of the clasp because it is stuck in amnongst the clasp's spirals.)

The earrings are also purple jasper, with tourmaline and sterling silver. I sculpted and hand-forged the earhooks, too. The teardrops on the earrings are wider and flatter than those used on the bracelet.

Please keep in mind: these are true stones, not plastic pieces made to look like stones.

When you buy my jewelry, you will be owning little pieces of art. Each piece is made individually, and is often a one-of-a-kind. Why purchase items from a catalog or a big-box store when you know that thousands of others may have the same thing?

Do you need this set? Oui! Please contact me for pricing information!

This is a beautiful piece. My birthstone is amethyst, so I am partial to the color.
