There is not one thing about it that I don't love; the color of the stones used is saturated and richly varied; the silver work is substantial - not a flimsy piece, that is for sure; and the way it hugs the neck and sits perfectly in place is beyond description.
This is a true choker size necklace, ideal for smaller to medium sizes...
Excellent craftsmanship by Remy with a gorgeous stone that is almost 2in. tall. The silver is thick and heavy at 76 grams total. This vintage Mexican treasure will fit up to a 7in. wrist. I have shown it with a necklace also listed on my site. There are rings to add a safety chain on the bracelet. There are no dents or damage and the huge stone is smooth to the finger and exhibits natural matrix. This is a great choice and certainly will gain compliments.

The entire piece is hand chased and follows a swirl that moves gracefully from link to link. It has a 16in. wearable and the drop is 1.5in. tall. The stones are .5in x .75in. The weight is 83 grams heavy. I have shown a bracelet that looks fabulous with this necklace and it is also listed on my site. This piece is perfectly sized for dress or office...

Based on Matl's signature Palomas motif,
this is a big, impressive, nicely made bracelet.
Coral, amethyst and tiny turquoise beads stud the repousse and wire work ornam...
