I can’t believe over 1800 have been ordered. The people that ordered them must be loaded.

@Kachina624 

I have an old Zuni silver/SB turq belt buckle and the stones have matrix. It's beautiful, color is spectacular. I took it back from one of my ex's after we divorced. I gave it to him as bd gift originally. Glad I kept it.

Not a fan of this type of bracelet because eventually from taking it on and off the clasp starts to loosen. I do like the Opal and SB stones. Too much $ to put out right now on a discretionary purchase based on things going on in the world.

@SilleeMee    The Zuni are the only Indians I've seen using SB, in their petit point.  The older SB typically had matrix.  It was by far the best quality.

@Kindaglitzy    You can tighten the clasp with a pair of jeweler's pliers.  Just spread the V of the inserted part a tiny bit.

 

The links that hold these bracelets together are very fragile.  The twisting they get if you sleep in them will eventually ruin them.

I do like the rhodolite bracelet and matching earrings.  The color is lovely.  Not a jewelry expert so I can't really comment on whether this is a decent price or not. You can find rhodolite tennis bracelets for less on the internet but I suspect that their color is not as fine as this appears (at least on TV)

@chvall99   Rhodolite is a favorite of mine and I have rings and a bracelet I got years ago.  You have to be careful, especially with the less expensive ones.  The often have stones that tend toward brown.  The should be a bright true raspberry color.

The shape of the stones is pretty unusual forr line bracelet. 

Previous versions had round or oval stones in the bracelet.
