Raw Aquamarine Dual-Stone Bangle, Gold or Silver Plated

Two raw aquamarine stones meet in a delicate claw setting on this adjustable bangle. Their pale, sea-inspired colour and natural irregularity make each piece a little different, whether worn on its own or alongside favourite bracelets. Choose option A for gold plating or option B for silver plating; the bangle adjusts to fit most wrist sizes and arrives with a velvet pouch.

Aquamarine is the blue variety of beryl and the birthstone for March. Sailors once carried it in the belief that it offered protection at sea, and in crystal traditions it is associated with calm and communication. These are traditional associations, not promises of protection or relief from emotional distress. The piece you receive may differ slightly in stone size and shape from the one photographed, while retaining the same design.

The bangle has a brass base plated before the stones are set, using a process described as galvanoplasty. The supplied plating details specify 18k gold in a layer of 10 thousandths for the gold option, or 1000 silver in a layer of 30 thousandths for the silver option, and describe the finish as free of cadmium, lead and other heavy metals. Treat the plated surface gently to help preserve its finish.
