Gold bracelet with a carnelian stone
The hoop of the bracelet is made of four tubes spirally wound, terminating at each end in a corrugated sleeve. The setting for the stone is hinged to the capped ends of the sleeves. One hinge is permanently secured, while the other can be opened by removing a pin, allowing the bracelet to be sprung and slipped over the wrist. The carnelian is an ovoid cone, truncated at the top. The box setting has tapered sides. The stone is held in place by a serrated flange bordered by a twisted wire.
