Bracelet measures 7 1/4" long and 5/8" at the widest. Hook closure fastens securely. Links are connected with wires ending in small orbs. Very delicately done. Nice contrast of the polished edges and orbs against the oxidized interior.
Screw back earrings measure 3/4" long and 5/8" at the widest. Screw backs are marked sterling and hold securely. They have the same contrast of edges to interior.
All three pieces are marked with the PM and sterling in a rectangle hallmark. The bracelet is marked on the back of each link.
The pieces are in fine condition with minor surface scratches and a little tarnish.
Great MCM design. High quality, lovely work.
