About this Product
This bracelet is designed with diamond-cut Lapis Lazuli beads, prized for their deep blue tones and flecks of natural pyrite, reminiscent of a starry night sky. The intense color of these stones adds elegance to the piece, while the faceted cuts give it a subtle sparkle. Known as a stone of wisdom and truth, Lapis Lazuli has been cherished through the ages and makes a lovely, timeless accent in this piece.
The focal of this bracelet is the handmade pewter clasp. Carefully cut with a disc cutter and embossed, this clasp adds an artistic and modern touch to the bracelet, as well as a unique textured finish. Pewter is known for its durability and attractive sheen, and the embossed design makes this clasp a one-of-a-kind piece of art.
The piece is accented with a delicate silver arc and twisted silver spacers, creating a modern look that effortlessly complements both casual and dressed-up styles. With its blend of natural stone and shiny pewter, this bracelet is perfect for both special occasions and adding a bit of boho-chic elegance to everyday wear.
The length is between 7 and 7.5 inches, designed to fit most wrists, and the pewter hook fastens easily.

Meet the Maker
Hi, I'm Melissa, the designer and maker behind this one-woman show I call Mielo Abelo Designs. I began beading in March 2018. My mother was turning 70, and my sister decided to throw her a Diva Party, and I decided I was going to make her a funky, sparkly necklace on a whim. I had no idea that whim was going to turn into a passion! What I love about this craft is that there is always something new to learn, and I love to learn and experiment and stretch my own boundaries.
After starting with basic bead stringing, I have learned how to incorporate wire and sheet metal into my jewelry projects, including creating my own earring wires. My handcrafted original jewelry designs include necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, using mostly natural stone, glass, and metal. I am not a metal smith, but I flame color, paint, ink, stamp, emboss, and shape metal to create interesting additions to my designs. I am fascinated by the process and the results, and try to stretch my own limits with my current skill level using the tools I have available.
I carefully consider the components that I use, choosing only high quality copper, 14kt gold, and Argentium silver to create my earrings wires. Most often, I use stainless steel chain, but I also do use rhodium and silver and gold plated. I make most of my clasps using German style wire that is tarnish resistant.
My goal is to offer affordable one of a kind jewelry while using quality components with a focus on workmanship. I craft each piece with that goal in mind. My design process takes time, which is why my item listings are limited.
I am open to collaborating with you on custom pieces. Reach out to me if you have ideas. If you're interested in seeing previous work that is no longer available, please visit my website at https://mieloabelo.com/ or follow the links to my social media.
I'd love to make my jewelry your jewelry.
How it’s Made
I cut the pewter clasp using a round disc cutter, then I embossed with a texture folder to create the pattern. After that, it went into the tumbler for a couple of hours to maximize shine and smooth away any rough edges. The hook is made using thick pewter wire.

Other Notes
My jewelry is not made for children or pets. My jewelry is not edible or food safe. My jewelry is not designed for continuous wear and should be removed while sleeping, showering/bathing, or swimming. Items made with air dry clay are sealed with a water resistant coating; however, they are not water proof and should be kept dry to avoid damage.
The wire I use for wrapping is generally plated and tarnish resistant; however, I do use Argentium silver wire for earring wires, which while formulated to resist tarnish, it, like all real silver, may tarnish. I also use Argentium and sterling silver findings, such as jump rings. Silver jewelry does need occasional polishing to keep it looking shiny and bright. The good news is, just a few wipes with a polishing cloth is all that's needed, and I include one with orders. I do not recommend chemical cleaning solutions on any items that include gemstones or on treated metal, such as metal that has been flame colored, patined, or painted.
