I bought this bracelet for the gemstones. While they are the high quality I expect from Sarda, it's actually the silver that is the star here. This piece is weighty. The woven chain itself is about three times the diameter of a Byzantine chain. It is smooth and flawless and connects with an adorable flat jawan box connector. The end caps have gorgeous filigree work. It is so much more everything than the pictures can convey. Thank you Sarda!
