FABULOUS Antique STERLING
genuine Chrysoprase Bracelet

This has genuine Chrysoprase,
which is something that is rare in
itself , and is set in a bracelet that
is over 100 years old. Not to
mention this is one of the finest
victorian bracelets there is. The
crafstmanship on this exquisite
with ornate hand wrought scrolled
filigree. Each stone is bezel set and
has the richest and eeriest
soothing color to it.

Chrysoprase is one of the most
prized varieties of quartz. Higher
quality specimens often rival fine
jade, for which it is sometimes
mistaken. And this is one of the
finest qualities, in my opinion.


Prussian king, Frederick the Great,
adorned his palace with objects
and furniture made fully or partly of
chrysoprase. His favorite ring was
set with a large chrysoprase
surrounded by 15 brilliant stones
(presumably diamonds).

Reportedly, Frederick never took
this ring off. He also carried a
walking stick with a knob of
chrysoprase.

The stone has also been renowned
as having unusual powers. In the
Middle Ages, it was believed that if
you put a piece of chrysoprase in
your mouth, you would become
invisible, and Romanian folklore
claims chrysoprase enabled its
owner to understand the language
of lizards.

Metaphysical characteristics
attributed to the gemstone today
include soothing heartache and
loneliness, and promoting
emotional balance. It also is said to
relieve gout, eye problems and
mental illness

This has its original safety chain
and it has a good sturdy working
slide ...
