South African Ox Eye Bracelet A – 3 to 4mm Beads
This elastic South African ox eye bracelet is made of small round beads measuring approximately 3 to 4 mm. Its reddish-brown hues and shimmering effect give it a warm, deep, and elegant appearance.
Originating from South Africa, this bracelet is made of fine round beads of grade A ox eye. This stone is a red to reddish-brown variant of tiger's eye.
Ox eye exhibits an optical phenomenon called chatoyancy. A band of light appears to move across the surface of the stone when viewed from different angles.
Its reddish-brown color can be natural or obtained by heat treatment of tiger's eye. The process for this particular item is not indicated, so the exact origin of its color remains to be confirmed.
The beads, approximately 3 to 4 mm, give the bracelet a delicate, understated, and easy-to-wear look. On small beads, the chatoyant effect can remain subtle and vary depending on the orientation of each stone and the light.
Thanks to its elastic mounting, the bracelet is easy to slip on. Its length of approximately 17 to 18 cm is suitable for wrists measuring approximately 16 to 18 cm.
Colors, patterns, inclusions, reflections, and dimensions may vary slightly from one bracelet to another. These unique characteristics make each piece of jewelry singular.
