Half-Bangle Bracelets
These bracelets are sold as 2 parts, and are designed to be mixed and matched. The bangle tops are on stiff wire, and the bottom of the bracelet is a chain with clasps at both ends. Because the stones don't go all the way around the wrist it's possible to use much larger stones which results in some very spectacular combinations. It's also possible with the half-bangles to use much more expensive stones but still keep the bangle tops reasonable, so feel free to stock up in one to match every outfit!
Please note that the chains shown are for display purposes, and any top can be ordered with any chain. See below for more information about available chains.

Purple Turquoise and Silver Half Bangle
Very unusual and only available from one supplier, this purple turquoise is heat-treated and permanently dyed "Sleeping Beauty" "gem-quality" turquoise, which is considered one of the best mines of turquoise available. Along with Bali beads silver beads are fired ceramic spacers dipped in fine silver. If you're looking for something for a "Red Hat Society" birthday, let her wear something purple, beautiful, and lasting! (note: these are brighter than they look in the picture - closer to the color of purple Skittles candy. I'll work on the picture soon!)
