*TO FIND YOUR BRACELET SIZE: Using a flexible tape measure or strip of paper, measure your wrist just below the bone (about where you would wear your bracelet). If you want the bracelet to fit tightly, add circa 1/4-1/2” to that measurement. If it you want it looser, add a bit more. Experiment to see what would feel comfortable. If these directions confuse you, please contact me and I will email you photos of a bracelet being measured.

This beautiful bracelet is remarkable both in its early characteristics and in the beauty of the silver work as well as of the stone. The wire appears to be hand-drawn. The decorative elements were all carefully stamped and/or chiseled. There is normal wear on the stone and on the silver as one would expect on a bracelet of this age. We rarely find bracelets that are this early and with all these desirable characteristics.
