This striking handmade statement bracelet is a celebration of bold design and ancient beauty. At its heart lies a large, teardrop-shaped malachite cabochon, meticulously cut to reveal the mesmerizing natural swirls, waves, and banding that make each stone truly one-of-a-kind. The cabochon’s polished surface glows with deep shades of green that draws the eye with its organic, almost hypnotic patterns.
The stone is set in a hand-textured and oxidized sterling silver bezel, giving the piece a sense of depth, character, and old-world artistry. The contrast between the darkened metal and the vivid green of the malachite enhances the stone’s presence, framing it like a treasure unearthed from antiquity.
The bracelet features three sturdy sterling silver bands that elegantly wrap around the wrist. Slightly adjustable, the bands are designed for a comfortable fit while maintaining the piece’s strong architectural feel. This bracelet makes an unforgettable statement—raw, powerful, and steeped in timeless elegance.
Malachite is formed when water, carbon dioxide, and copper ore combine. It’s often found with other copper minerals like azurite and chrysocolla. Malachite has been used for many purposes throughout history, including: pigment for green paint, eye paint by the ancient Egyptians, and decorative for vases and other ornamental objects.
