Each center stone is surrounded by 4 smaller cabochon turquoise stones along with 8 enameled balls that were made to look like turquoise. Each link is surrounded by a wide ribbed border and 4 enameled balls rest on the outside of each. They connect to each other by 2 oval links that have an enameled ball detail in the center of each. The clasp is hidden within one of the links and there is a safety chain for added security. The tongue of the clasp is marked "SILVER". A very unusual and fantastic piece, this bracelet would make a wonderful addition to any collection!
