Meet Miss Ruthie,

Our 1940’s Lingering Art Deco Black Opal Doublet Bracelet

Originally a ladies’ 14 karat white gold and diamond Elgin watch that would no longer run, our master lapidarist selected a particularly colorful natural black opal doublet and cut it to fit into the watch case.  Now an opal bracelet fitted with a modern stainless steel stretch band, this piece looks elegant on even the *ahem* rather hairy arm of our male model (yours truly).
