Bangle Bracelet

A frosted, pillowy cuff that looks like a chunk of winter.

This is a rock crystal bangle bracelet. Rock crystal is colorless, transparent quartz, and lapidaries have cut it into beads, bangles and ornaments for thousands of years in Asia, Europe and the Middle East. A thick, cloudy translucent cuff with soft bulging curves and a wide open gap. Internal veils and ripples show through the body, and the surface looks smooth but slightly uneven, with a milky, frozen appearance. It is 3.1 inches long, 1.75 deep and 2.5 high.

Chilly to look at, and surprisingly gentle in profile.
