After quite some consideration, I finally decided to get this bracelet. It is more beautiful than I imagined. The design is exquisite, with the Byzantine (one of the more difficult styles as it has to be hand-made) on one side and high polish on the other. It opens to put on nicely but has a good spring mechanism to keep it closed. It definitely has some weight to it - not flimsy at all. I absolutely love it! If you have the opportunity to purchase, you won't be disappointed.
