Pretiosa brings a cuff featuring an amazing hand bezel set Chrysocolla

A drop of sea, a piece of the sky - a little bit of Earth to wear around your wrist

The stone is set in a serrated bezel, adorned with a twisted wire. The perfect frame for a fragment of natures beauty

Hand polished to a mirror shine

Material

♢ Fine silver for the bezel
♢ Sterling silver
♢ Chrysocolla

Measures

♢ Band half round 3 mm
♢ Chrysocolla 20 x 18 mm
♢ Size adjustable (best fit medium to large)

Take note that this particular type of stone is what is called *soft.

Don't wear the cuff during sports (I know, it's not a sports kinda cuff - but I'll mention it anyways) and take it off when you do your cleaning, your make up and your hair (hairspray, oil and strong detergents steal the luster in both the silver and the stone).
This goes for all jewelry I might add, but it's especially important to remember with gemstone jewelry as they are more exposed to damage

*All stones' hardness are measured on a scale called Mohs. A diamond has the hardness of 10 (hardest there is), a quartz has the hardness of 7 - the chrysocolla stops on appr. 3-3,5.
This doesn't mean it will break just looking at it. Use the cuff with care and store it in a safe place when you're not using it - and you'll be able to enjoy it for many years to come!

Chrysocolla Cuff

Name: Chrysocolla Cuff
Brand: Pretiosa Design
SKU: SSARCHRY16

SKU: SSARCHRY16

kr1,499.00

Quantity

Fine silver is 99,9% pure silver

Pure silver is a very soft material

Therefore, Pretiosa uses fine silver for the smaller parts of her jewelry, like bezels and other little details

Sterling silver is 92,5% pure silver

This is an alloy made when (usually) copper, the remaining 7.5%, is combined with fine silver

This is a less soft and more durable material

CHRYSOCOLLA

Chrysocolla is often confused with turquoise. The stone is found where there are copper deposits, especially in areas southwest of the United States, Zaire, Australia, France and England

The Chrysocolla used in jewelry is found together with quartz, as chrysocolla on its own is a stone too soft for jewelry

The combination of these two makes it hard enough to withstand both the grinding and the setting in a piece of jewelry

Chrysocolla is associated with calm, intuition, patience and unconditional love

Returns are assessed individually for each purchase, and to Pretiosas full discretion

(ex. fabrication of a ring made from your specific measures, will not be refundable, should it not fit. Buyer may return the piece and get it resized, if the design allows it, paying the postage both ways. There may also be an extra charge for the job, depending on the amount of work involved).

When your piece is received and 14 days have passed, the purchase is binding and the item may not be returned

Please remember that all my pieces are made completely by hand. This means they are unique, and minor flaws may occur - like with most handcrafted items ♥

These flaws are generally invisible to the naked eye, but will of course be outlined in the listing when appropriate and will be reflected in the price
