Turquoise & Tiger Eye Bracelet

Tiger Eye nuggets with Turquoise beads and sterling silver were used to create this pretty bracelet.
Turquoise Necklace with Tiger Eye
This necklace was created with a beautiful Turquoise pendant as the main focus. For the necklace, I added more Turquoise in the form of round beads and nuggets, together with nuggets of Tiger Eye to match the brown markings that featured in the Turquoise pendant. With the addition of some sterling silver, all came together beautifully!

Egyptian Bracelet
+CB063+01.jpg)
Sometime ago I received a request to create a replica of a bracelet found in the tomb of King Djer, who was the second Pharoah of Egypt's 1st dynasty. The bracelets found in his tomb were originally created with Turquoise, Amethyst and Lapis Lazuli gemstones, along with pieces of gold. They were beautifully designed, using alternating colours to combine patterns. Take a look at this web page: http://touregypt.net/featurestories/picture05182004.htm.
Although, I did have Turquoise, Amethyst and Lapis Lazuli gemstone pieces, I didn't have the same sizes or shapes or even colours, of the gemstones used in these wonderful bracelets. Also, I wasn't yet working with gold but did have some wonderful silver pieces that I thought would work quite well, so I was quite excited about this challenge!
The result is shown here. I was extremely pleased with the result. More importantly, so was my customer!
