Back to the Blog Carnival, this time we are all shopping at Overstock.com's Worldstock Jewelry store. This online store is killer because it features a great variety of necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings and more at prices that are unbelieveable for gold and sterling silver along with some real gemstones.

This store was my find because I have been on the hunt for some cuff bracelets and interesting earrings. (If you read my blog regularly, then you know I found my earrings already. If you don't read it, take a look at the posts on 5/12!

With earrings done, I had to have some new bracelets. Given that my first and second choices were both gone in a split second (dichroic glass calls to me but I want color).

Roman Glass Bracelet with Amethyst or Turquoise

Instead of getting locked into the trend of cuffs, I chose this edge conglomeration of sterling and semi-precious stones. This bracelet, of Middle Eastern origin and vintage (think ancient) materials features 90% recycled silver. The stones (labradorite, iolite and smokey crystals or chunky turquoise, moss agate, smokey quartz and onyx), pearls and roman glass shards are inlaid into the silver, creating a more textured mosaic. Another nifty thing about this pieces is that the jewelry studio is involved in a special program that employs the handicapped. I think of it as a "win-win'win" on all sides since the bracelet is one of kind, it provides work for the handicapped and also an economic infusion into that area.

The retail for this bracelet is $120.00.
