This mossy green wrap-around bracelet consists of a single length of antiqued-copper coloured memory wire, threaded with glass and stone beads:

Lime green glass beads with 'lightning' streaks and splatters;
Green and black chips of chrysoprase;
Pebbles and rounds of unakite; and
Irregularly faceted beads of pink, translucent 'cherry quartz'.

Memory wire is very strong and will hold its shape even under great stress – hence the name: the wire 'remembers' its shape. To wear this bracelet, simply wrap it around your wrist. It will stay there until you unwrap it – no clasp necessary.

Chrysoprase – like many other semiprecious gemstones – is a variety of chalcedony. It varies in colour from lime green to apple green to rich, deep greens. It was used by the ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians for various ornamental uses, including jewellery. The chrysoprase in this bracelet shows a variety of fresh greens mingled with black, like sunlight and shadow in a leafy jungle.
Unakite is a beautiful semiprecious stone that was first discovered in the Unakas mountains in North Carolina in the United States of America. It is mottled with pink and mossy greens: the pink is orthoclase feldspar, and the green is epidote. Unakite also includes quartz, which is usually colourless, but helps to give the stone its fascinating swirled and mottled markings.
Cherry 'quartz' is actually man-made glass, cleverly made to imitate natural quartz with its tiny streaks and inclusions.

'Moss And Petals' is a one-off Whiteleaf Jewellery design, never to be repeated. Clicking on the largest photograph will enable you to view the images at full size.
This one-of-a-kind bracelet has an inside diameter of approximately 50mm, and will comfortably fit a 16cm wrist. It is designed to wrap four and a half times, giving the appearance of four and a half strands of beads around the wrist. This memory wire bracelet can be made to sit further up on the wrist, like a cuff bracelet, or it can be worn looser and low on the wrist. The slimmer your wrist, the looser the fit will be.
The stone chip beads may look spiky and uncomfortable to wear, but when the bracelet is worn the chips naturally rotate themselves around the wire to sit as flat as possible against the wearer's wrist. After a few minutes of wearing, the chips will have aligned themselves to sit as comfortably as possible. Nevertheless, this bracelet is not designed to be worn tightly and so may not be comfortable on a larger wrist.
