Mexican Fire Opal Cord Bracelet

A little ember on a cord. This delicate bracelet cradles a single cabochon, warm with the molten orange and milky veining of a Mexican fire opal, set in metal on a slim dark band with a clasp close. It is the kind of talisman you forget you are wearing until the light catches it and you remember.

Mexico is the spiritual home of the fire opal, mined in the volcanic highlands and prized for centuries, the Aztecs called it the stone of the bird of paradise. Handmade cord and cabochon bracelets in this spirit honor that lineage of earthy, talismanic adornment.

Estimated era: contemporary handmade.

Materials: stated Mexican fire opal cabochon on a corded band with metal setting.
