Golden - Rutilated Quartz Mixed Metal Cuff Bracelet

Smooth round rutilated quartz, nature created this particular rare quartz with a significant amount of acicular (needle-like) rutile inclusions. This cuff bracelet features a rutilated quartz wrapped with 24k gold bezel and set onto 940 Argentium silver setting. The cuff is made of sterling silver. The bangle width is a 7.5. One size fits most.

The result is this stunning clean and modern minimalist design. There are no two rutilated quartz gemstones alike, therefore this is a one of a kind bracelet. Subsequent bracelets will vary in size, shape and amount of acicular inclusions. These acicular inclusions in rutilated quartz are mostly golden, but sometimes they can appear silvery, or copper to copper red. The dark green or black inclusions are considered to be tourmalated quartz. The inclusions can be distributed randomly or in bundles. They can appear sparse or dense enough to make the quartz body nearly clear and glass like. While other inclusions in crystals can lessen the value, rutilated quartz is valued for the quality and beauty of its inclusions.
