Vanity Fair Sapphire Princess Bracelet

Description

I don't know if you saw the movie version of Vanity Fair by Thackeray with Reese Witherspoon, but that is one of my all time favorite movies for color, costume and jewelry.

Set in the early 1800's Becky Sharp, the main character (played by Witherspoon) wears a gorgeous deep sapphire silk gown in the opening of the movie. The deep indigo blue silk of her gown is exactly the color of the large 13 mm freshwater pearls used in this piece.

The pearls are deep sapphire blue, and alternate between those drilled side to side, and those drilled top to bottom. Smooth amethyst rondelles (same used in the Purple Passion Empress Necklace and earrings) cut glass amethyst colored barrels, and 4 mm faceted round amethyst beads, deep rich high grade staturation comprise the body of the bracelet. The center stone is a stunning 20mm X 15 mm faceted amethyst stone flanked by sterling bead caps from Bali. Toggle clasp to finish.

The bracelet measures 8 1/4" in length, which if you are comfortable in a 7 1/2 or 8" bracelet, will fit you perfectly (or in other words so that there's some play around the wrist- so it's not super tight).

See my Blog entry for more pics from the movie, and be sure to sneak a peek at the two coordinating pieces form my shop, the Purple Passion Empress Necklace and Earrings. Free shipping on earrings with purchase of either the bracelet or necklace!
