This appealingly chunky bracelet features irregularly round carnelian beads and uniformly round oxidized sterling silver beads in a contemporary retro style. The single, 8-inch strand combines a 1920s, big-bead presence with a modern mandarin hue. Five carnelian beads are a luscious, semi-opaque orange with texturing black specks within. Their color looks even livelier alongside the four blackened sterling silver beads with raised decorations and vintage feel. Definitely a weighty adornment, the bracelet secures with a sturdy, half-inch sterling silver clasp whose toggle ends host a tiny garnet stud. Carnelian is the best-known type of chalcedony quartz and is usually heated to darken its reddish orange hue. Valued in the ancient world, carnelian is said to have healing properties. Not meant for a bit part, this carnelian bead necklace is the main event and simple solid fabrics bring out its best.
