Spinalonga is a beautiful little island located in the Gulf of Elounda in north-eastern Crete. It's near the town of Plaka and the "official" Greek name of the island today is Kalydon. It was a fortified island because it protected the entranceway of the Port of Ancient Olous. And yes, it has tons of history from the Ottoman rule to being a Leper Colony in more recent times. What is cool though is that it is just cool. It's a tiny island surrounded by clear, aqua blue waters and it has ancient ruins on it! Ya can't beat that for a quick day adventure with a camera and a full bota bag can ya? Make sure you also sport a big straw hat on you wander because it can be scorching while winding your way thought the alley ways during those warmer months. This bracelet looks as if it was found as part of some excavation there and cleaned up an put into a museum. It has an actual Ancient Polished Ammonite Fossil which is actually found here and in the surrounding areas. Therefore, this bracelet is very connected to the sea. I also added some old Stamped Brass, Ox Horn and Yak Bone to give it that old world appeal. The Large Bone Mala Skull represents you sitting on one of its small, pebbled beaches, enjoying your vino and pondering the past events of the place. This Bracelet is stunning on your wrist and the colors of the Polished Ammonite Fossil are really cool...there is a tinge of blue of the surrounding waters in it. This is one piece of bling that you hand down to your own ancients. They’ll be proud.
