Each tear drop dangle is 2 inches long. With the bands being "open" it makes for a lighter weight than if closed but s...

The stones display a higher quality than we normally see and that does attest to the quality of it being an old bracelet. The coral is dark red as true Italian Mediterranean coral is and yet again showing a richer stone choi...
