Genuine Turquoise and Baroque Pearl Stretch Bracelet

Every bracelet needs one troublemaker. This one found hers in a baroque pearl.

The Genuine Turquoise and Baroque Pearl Stretch Bracelet rounds up genuine turquoise two ways — smooth round stones and faceted rondelles — with gold-plated brass beads keeping the rhythm between them. Then in comes one large baroque pearl, refusing to be uniformly shaped like everybody else on the strand. It stretches on, so there's no clasp to wrestle with — just slide it over your hand and go.

Stack it with plain gold bangles for an everyday mix that still has a focal point. Wear it solo when you want the pearl to be the whole conversation. Or layer it under a chunky sweater sleeve in the fall, so it only shows when you reach for your coffee.

That pearl isn't trying to match anything else on the bracelet. It's just there, being itself, and somehow it works.
