The links reinterpret the tongue — a symbol we found throughout pre-Hispanic codices, where it stands for speech, knowledge and human connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the center we set one large natural stone, a 2 x 3 cm oval that anchors the whole composition.

Polish it with a silver cloth to bring back the shine, or leave it darker — we like it both ways. Keep the stone away from perfume and household cleaners, and take it off before swimming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the piece solid or hollow?\u003c\/strong\u003e Hollow. We build the links with cartoneado, a traditional Taxco technique: sheets of .925 sterling silver are die-stamped and hand-soldered into a hollow form. The silver is .925 throughout — the hollow construction is what keeps 60 grams of bracelet comfortable on the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the stone natural?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, natural and cut by hand by our lapidary in Mexico. Because it's natural, color and veining vary from one bracelet to the next — that variation is the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does it close?\u003c\/strong\u003e With a box clasp — the tongue slides in and locks with an audible click. It's more secure than a hook and it sits flush, so nothing catches on a sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I choose a size?\u003c\/strong\u003e Measure your wrist and add about half an inch so it moves comfortably.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"carolina spratling","offers":[{"title":"Malachite","offer_id":42959049752672,"sku":"LEN-B-M-05","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Lapis Lazuli","offer_id":42959049785440,"sku":"LEN-B-L-05","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Onyx","offer_id":42959049818208,"sku":"LEN-B-ON-05","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Jade","offer_id":42959049850976,"sku":"LEN-B-J-05","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/8947\/4400\/files\/LENGUA_CENTER_STONE_B.jpg?v=1784009244","url":"https:\/\/carolinasstudio.com\/products\/lengua-and-stone-bracelet","provider":"Carolina S Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
