This cuff bracelet looks ten times more expensive than it is. The technibond is the exact color of 14kt. gold and the garnet stones are rich in color and very clear. An excellent buy. I must, regretably, sent it back as it is too small and looks funny on my wrist. Maybe a 7.5 or 8" would be better. If you have a smaller wrist, it's a great buy. Wish I did!
