Story
Seriously chic and substantial at 112 grams (almost 1/4 pound!), kudos go out to the designers of this mighty bracelet.
Utilizing four actual antique silver coins, dated 1849, 1869, 1870, and another 185?, they are linked together by sleek open ovals.
Two coins hail from France, and two from Belgium. A power statement no stacking required.
