This is a lovely bracelet that was hand carved in Hong Kong. It was purchased from a jewelry shop on one of the main strands. It is carved from local Agate and Jasper. The band that it is on, is hand-made and hand knotted from silk threads. At the end of the knotted pieces are 2 black beads. We have 2 of these so you can purchase 1 or 2.
