Genuine Green Aventurine and a Lucky Kitty (also known as Maneki-neko in Japanese) charm adorn this good luck themed bracelet. Lucky Kitty has the traditional raised paw. Aventurine traditionally represents good luck. And, although this bracelet makes no claims to bring good luck, it does make a fun theme. This bracelet could also be put over a rear view mirror in your car.
Bracelet measures 8 inches in length and has a goldtone clasp closure. Clasp is made of goldtone metal alloy. There are two sizes of aventurine beads, alternating with gold speckled glass beads in between.
Kitty measures 3/4-inch in size and has a tiny bell inside. This makes a gentle sound when it moves, similar to a cat collar bell. Lucky Kitty is made of brass. In Japanese, Lucky Kitty is called Maneki-neko, which literally means Beckoning Cat. Lucky Kitty has also been called Welcoming Cat, Money Cat, and Fortune Cat. It is traditionally said to bring good luck to the owner.
Aventurine is a semi-precious stone and is lighter green in color, kind of like celadon green. It is a form of quartz and has a translucency and smooth shimmer to it. I love to study it in the light to really see the amazing color of it.
