  •  A beautiful bracelet. Really elegant and must be quite rare as well with its fine art and  unique design.

    Congratulations for thefind

  • Oh, My Goodness. This is really beautiful. An excellent example of its type. I imagine that the enamel only decorates the clasp.

  • Oh Angelo, I think I have already earlier mentioned how I admire this stunning beauty.  Perfect like all your collected pieces. Beautiful how the maker has been playing with the enamel colors to enhance the coral.  And all done in my favorite material high quality silver. Perfect.
