Rittenhouse Semiprecious Stone Bracelet

I selected this bracelet because my husband had gifted me earlier this year with a set of caviar earrings and necklace. Instead of a matching stone for the bracelet, I chose the white topaz, to match, but enable me to mix with other items. This bracelet is awesome. The fit is perfect, the clasp is heavy enough to keep the stone embellishment mainly at top, and the clasp itself is a work of art. I am thrilled with this bracelet!

The workmanship on this is excellent, as expected, and the blue topaz gem is clear and very well colored. I am on the fence about the design at the moment. It’s a little blocky looking — almost like wearing a watch. I think I may like it better paired with a thinner bracelet, to soften it. The bracelet I received is a lot brighter than the one shown in the listing (none of that black oxidization in the crevices). With time, I know it will develop a nice patina, but right now it’s a little garish. One nice thing: the clasp on this is easier to work than those on John Hardy bracelets. I think there may be a small magnet in there to guide the ends together.

I have several Lagos, caviar jewelry pieces and this is the most beautiful of all. The finish on this bracelet reflects the light with such brilliant sheen. The Gold is very subtle but does provide a slight contrast to the styling. I have a Lagos Black Onyx dome Caviar Ring purchased several years ago and they look beautiful together. I highly recommend this piece. The Medium size is a good average fit.
