A PERSONAL WORD:
These exquisitely designed butterfly bracelets are made with time consuming techniques that reveal the extraordinary skills of a true artist. They were made under the direction of Federico by the hands of one of his on staff master inlay artisans, whose work I'm deeply impressed by & is a artisan that puts his all into his work.. Paying extreme close attention to detail is what it takes for this type of work & when it's all said & done & the item is ready for the market, you're going to get nothing less than an accurately made piece that is made with "precision" with this artisan!
He does some of the finest lapidary work (stone cutting) you'll ever come across, as well as the tedious work of knowing the art of mosaic inlaying..These 2 things take years of repetition & cannot be learned overnight, nor can they be learned in a matter of a few month's, but more like years to be at this level of workmanship. To do these artforms takes patience, a good eye & a mathematical brain to do them.
*********************
THE BRACELET
Designed with 8 small little turquoise Butterflies, where each butterfly was completely made by hand.. Their wings started from a larger slab of Carico Lake turquoise & cut down to size & then one by one have been chiseled to accentuate their wing pattern.. Their wings are then elegantly beveled, which give each of these 4 wing sections their graceful lines & smooth appearance. The abdomen,eyes & the antennas are designed in a Zuni Pueblo style of inlay, where they are channel mosaic inlaid..Each butterfly is placed atop of a mirror polish finished sterling that sit in a secure bezel..
****Link bracelets are not meant to fit tightly against the wrist,but rather should have a little movement. As is, this is made for a larger wrist & should accommodate a 7" to a 7-3/4" wrist.. However, this can be adjusted (by us) if your wrist is smaller by taking one butterfly out which would bring it down to a 7" length & should then fit a 6" to a 6-3/4" medium sized wrist and by taking 2 panels out, would bring this down to a 6",which will then fit a tinier-small boned wrist. This would have to be sent out in order to shorten & should take a couple weeks to complete.(give or take) ***
A REMINDER:
You are not paying for the weight, nor the amount of materials, but rather the lengthy time these took to make!
If you love sets, this bracelet has a sister necklace (last photo in this listing)
If you prefer blue turquoise over green, I also carry this bracelet in Sleeping Beauty turquoise & is apart of a whole suite where there's a necklace,link bracelet & matching earrings!!

PLEASE NOTE:
In order to give you close up photos so I can provide you with all the detail,can tend to make the item look much more larger & everything is more magnified than in actuality. Close up's make the item look so large & then you get it in hand & you are shocked since the item is much smaller than how they looked in the photos..So to get an accurate idea of how big this is, please zoom in on photo 2 where you can see it worn, or you can do is pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements
