A true conversation piece for the collector, this Gem Calsilica hinged bangle is an incredible display of color, craftsmanship, and wearable art. The bangle is inlaid with countless ultra-thin bands of vibrant material, creating a mesmerizing striped pattern that wraps around the wrist in shades of turquoise blue, red, orange, green, yellow, pink, black, and cream.
The sleek silver setting gives the colorful inlay a clean, modern frame, while the hinged construction makes this piece especially unique and easy to wear. From a distance, the bracelet reads as an explosion of color; up close, the tiny individual layers reveal just how intricate the workmanship truly is.
Gem Calsilica is especially fascinating to collectors for its unmistakable rainbow appearance and unusual history. While it was originally marketed as a natural material, gemological testing later determined it to be man-made/composite, created from vividly colored mineral materials. Today, pieces featuring it have developed their own following among collectors who appreciate its bold palette, rarity on the secondary market, and unmistakable late-20th/early-2000s Southwestern jewelry aesthetic.
This is one of those pieces that feels just as special displayed in a collection as it does stacked with your favorite silver bracelets. Colorful, unusual, and increasingly hard to come across, this bangle is made for the collector who loves jewelry with a story.
