Turquoise Bracelet

This bracelet uses huge chunks of turquoise paired with Swarovski crystal and sterling silver. It is actually a double strand bracelet. I used a dark red and almost navy blue crystal to add a little more depth and color to the turquoise. It also contains some fun dangles hanging off it.

I love that this piece combines so many different elements. You get the big, bold appearance from both the size and color of the turquoise. The crystal adds another layer to the color and makes it more than just turquoise. The variation in the sterling silver chain and Bali beads add some texture without overwhelming to color palette. Combine all these elements and you get this stunning piece!
