Bracelets with malachite

Malachite

— malachite is easily recognized by its rich green color and characteristic stripes or concentric patterns. Such a stone looks great in more massive or ethnic bracelets, as well as in options with large inserts, where the malachite pattern becomes the main decorative element. The material is quite soft and may get scratched and dull from frequent contact with water and household chemicals, so bracelets with such inserts are better worn as a neat everyday or occasional accessory. Compared to smooth jade, malachite appears more "patterned" and noticeable; it is often used in jewelry for business style or with solid-colored clothing to add a touch of color.
