Metal: Gunmetal Tone Findings: Magnetic Hinge Finish: Polished Alexis Bittar has been mastering the art of Lucite, mixed metals and unique stones for over 30 years. He was the pioneer of handcrafted Lucite bangles in the early 90s and is still breaking boundaries and setting trends to this day. This piece is a perfect example of all three reasons why Alexis Bittar jewelry is so very special. 1) Lucite! This piece is HAND CARVED out of BEAUTIFUL purple lucite! The color is so stunning, it reminds me of grape flavoring! Only his earliest and most expensive pieces were/are carved by hand and contain the stamp 'Handcarved by Alexis Bittar' on the inside of the bracelet. This bangle is one of the lucky rare few! 2) Absolutely STUNNING metalwork. This piece uses ruthenium tone metal (similar to gunmetal) that encases all of the stones in geometric art deco inspired designs. 3) High quality stones. Both the front and sides of the bangle are COMPLETELY ENCRUSTED IN SWAROVSKI CRYSTALS! Shades include clear diamond and dark amethyst. A magnificent and luxurious find, you will fall in love immediately! Go ape for grape! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
