For the cool girl who likes her vintage jewelry bold, gemmy, and impossible to overlook.
I converted a vintage 18k gold curb bracelet into a one of a kind collector piece, then scattered 33 carats of multicolor Tourmaline cabochons across all that glorious gold.
And these cabs are pure candy.
Juicy Rubellite pinks, peacock teal, fresh greens, and soft watermelon tones. I especially love them in cabochon cuts. The smooth domes make the colors feel deeper and dreamier, and every stone shows its own natural personality.
At the center sits that incredible Rubellite heart. Big, saturated, and unapologetically romantic. I surrounded it with my signaturecAurora Halo. It gives that fabulous vintage designer jewelry feeling, when jewelry was meant to have presence.
The original vintage curb chain is semi hollow, which I actually love for a bracelet of this scale. You still get those generous, sculptural 10mm links and the strength needed for real wear, but without the enormous gold weight and price that a completely solid 18k chain of this size would bring.
And at 36 grams total, she is certainly no lightweight. There is still that wonderful substantial feeling on the wrist.
Wear her alone and let her be the whole story. Or throw her next to your everyday gold and make the wrist situation a little more interesting.
