Turquoise Venetian Lion Bracelet with Howlite Beads

Details

Degs & Sal jewelry is handmade of recycled sterling silver in Italy. Each piece is delicately created by the hands of local artisans. 

This bracelet features a square bead made from recycled sterling silver with a raised Venetian Lion set over turquoise enamel and howlite beads. Howlite beads are a naturally occurring white stone known for its distinctive gray veining and smooth, marble-like appearance. It was first discovered in Nova Scotia in the 19th century and is named after the Canadian mineralogist Henry How. Though relatively soft as a mineral, it polishes beautifully and is widely used in jewelry for its calming aesthetic and symbolic value.

Story

This Turquoise Venetian Lion Bracelet with Howlite Beads draws its inspiration from La Serenissima, the historic Republic of Venice. At its center, the iconic Venetian Lion stands proud against a sea-blue enamel background — symbolizing courage, wisdom, and peace through strength. Surrounding it, calming howlite beads mirror Venetian marble and the stillness of the lagoon, bringing balance and clarity to the wearer. A refined statement piece rooted in heritage and intention.
