The accent bead is gold-tone plated brass with an open filigree pattern, so it is light on the wrist and does not tarnish the way unplated brass does, but it is not a precious metal. Keep it away from perfume and chlorine and the plating will hold its colour for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy are half the beads pale blue and half deep blue?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause they are two different stones. The pale, slightly sparkly beads are faceted aquamarine, and the deep navy ones are lapis lazuli. Aquamarine is transparent beryl; lapis is an opaque rock made mainly of lazurite, which is why it reads as a solid colour rather than letting light through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the aquamarine heat-treated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery likely, yes, and that is standard for the trade rather than something hidden. Pale aquamarine rough is routinely heated to drive off a yellow component and leave a cleaner blue. Heating is stable and permanent, so the colour will not fade with wear. The lapis is not dyed; the white clouds and gold flecks are part of the rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the lapis scratch or dull?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can, because lapis is soft and slightly porous at 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs scale. Do not shower, swim or wash dishes in it, and keep it off perfume, hairspray and anything acidic, all of which dull the polish. Wipe with a barely damp cloth and dry it immediately, and never put it in an ultrasonic cleaner. The aquamarine beads on the same strand are far tougher and need nothing special.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does it fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a double wrap bracelet on elastic with no clasp, and fits a wrist of roughly 15-18 cm (5.9-7.1 in).
