La Première Étoile, originally uploaded by LeeOhioDesigns.

A Fall 2008 Preview piece.

La Première Étoile ... the first star. "Star Light Star bright, The first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, Have the wish I wish tonight."

This bracelet is comprised of deep royal purple full teardrops of Iolite. Clustered densely between this briolettes of Water Sapphires are petite drops of lilac colored Pink Amethyst and rondelles of Iolite. Asymmetrically placed within are two cubes of Mystic Blue Quartz - one near the center and one at the clasp. The gems have been placed on handmade ballpins of .999 Fine Silver. A sterling silver lobster clasp and extender chain close the piece - all which have been brushed with steel wool by hand to give a fine satiny matte finish. Dangling from the extender chain is a drop of pale, faceted Lemonade Chalcedony which has been set with a single White Topaz gem in an 18K Yellow Gold bezel. A sterling silver signature tag imprinted with "jlee" adds the finishing touch to the bracelet.
