Luxe variation of Antonio’s celebrated thumbprint design alternates elongated concave silver slabs with hunks of bezel-framed amethysts.  This massive beauty exudes opulence!  Each royal purple stone holds strange silvery occlusions in its depths, reflecting the silver shimmer of the adjacent curved links.  The stones’ cut is bold and barbaric, a power statement for the confident woman.  But seeing this substantial bracelet circling the feminine wrist is arresting, sexy … like stealing his favorite shirt to wear (with nothing else!) after a long night together.  A big, beautiful personal piece you’ll never want to take off.
