I only like the tanzanite and Rhodalite.  Glad I already have a tennis bracelet in those 2 gems.,

They are pretty bracelets but I am also happy I already own a Tanzanite which I paid much less for years ago.  Surprised that this is the TSV though.  $$$

$400.00 for genuine Sterling Silver. Even giving you the choice of semi precious or the tanzantie.  For $200.00 more you could have had the diamond (H color) earrings in 14K. Oh well...

Only two of those bracelets are really worth $400 (maybe)...SB turq and Tanz simply b/c of their depletion from the earth. The other bracelets, though still worth something, aren't as 'valuable'. Any piece of jewelry can be valuable to you if you treasure it deep enough.

@SilleeMee    Sleeping Beauty is still widely available.  I see it everywhere.  Certainly is not rare and valuable;  it's just the hype that convinces people it is.  The stones in that bracelet look like plastic.

@Kachina624 I agree.  SB stones always have that plastic look to me.  I like turquoise with a little bit of matrix.  I think it looks more like a real stone.

Yes , I agree about availability but depletion from the earth is something different.

@SilleeMee   I wish they'd hurry up and run out of it.  Horrible stuff, an affront to Mother Nature.

@haddon9    It's the matrix that gives turquoise it's character and makes it interesting.  I'm even picky about the matrix pattern. 

 

You'll never see Sleeping Beauty in a true turquoise collector's display.
