Swarovski Crystal "Mayfly" Fern Bracelet in Rose Gold-Plated Metal. 7"

GOLD PLATE: A base or alloy metal that this coated with gold. Usually yellow in color, but can also be white or rose.

SPRINGRING CLASP: Invented in the early 1900s this diminutive device is highly effective. It's a hollow circular metal fastener with a spring opening. This keeps the clasp closed.

SAFETY CHAIN: A chain that is attached to both sides of the opening for a necklace or bracelet. It provides an extra measure of security in case the main clasp fails.

CRYSTAL: Though traditionally the term "crystal" was given to glass with a 24% lead content, today it is used in a more general sense to describe transparent and highly refractive glass formed with silica, oxide, or other additives. Crystal is used in serveware, barware, home accents, and jewelry.

MARQUISE: An elliptical shape that comes to a point at the top and bottom. Sometimes referred to as a "navette."

SINGLE-CUT: A gemstone cutting technique that dates back to the 1300s. Still used today, the single-cut usually features 18 facets that go in one direction without crossing each other.
