PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY BEFORE PURCHASING

Discover this cast brass bracelet, a symbol of strength and resilience, inspired by ancestral bracelets. Forged using the lost wax technique, it evokes the eternal cycle of life, with three casings representing doors, engraved with symbols of the stages of life of Kabyle women.

Each symbol, taken from the book " Signs and Magical Rituals of Kabyle Women " ( work by Makilam ), embodies a fundamental aspect of life: a circle surrounded by dots for motherhood, a gazelle for freedom, and a four-pointed cross for a fulfilled life. The very shape of the bracelet incorporates other symbols: the scorpion (the act of love), lightning (fertility) and the moon (crossing of lives).

Natural stones, such as purple labradorite and garnets, with their visible imperfections, celebrate the beauty of uniqueness. Every detail reinforces the powerful character of this jewel.

Features :

  • Open brass bracelet (73 g) , designed for an 18 cm wrist (with a 4 cm opening that can be enlarged on request)
  • Purple labradorite (25x20x8 mm) and garnets (13x13x4 mm and 14x14x4 mm)
  • Hardness of 6.5 on the Mohs scale
  • Patinated and varnished for added protection

Please note that this bracelet is quite heavy, so it is essential not to drop it on a hard surface to avoid damaging the stones.

Wearing this bracelet is embracing brute force, and showing that you are alive!

Materials

Most of my jewelry is made of 925 or 950 silver, set with gems, and bear the maker's mark.
The pieces in the Refashion collection, for their part, are not made of precious metal and are not hallmarked: they are composed from pieces chosen from old, second-hand jewelry, the composition of the metal of which is unknown to me, and to which I give a new lease of life, a second life.

Each creation is part of a story, faithful to the spirit of my creative impulses. Please read the MOHS mini guide for gem care.
