Bamboo Jasper Bracelet
The rich patina of our Vintage brass goes so well with our multi colored, earthy tone bamboo jasper rondelles in this bracelet design. To add a splash of color, we added fuchsia 8mm Czech fire polished crystals and 6mm hyacinth crystals. This assymetrical design is sure to please! The braclet fits wrists 7.5 inches around but can be made shorter or longer by changing the length of the chain.
