    Wow indeed. I have no idea about where or when or what the big stone is.

    When I was a kid (1960's) I had a Goldette (NYC) bracelet that reminds me just a TINY bit of the decoration on this HONKING cuff. The style was very different from this one, but there's something about the little decorative "bits" that brought my old bracelet to mind...

    I don't think it's that old, but it's a statement. ;) The stone looks like some kind of quartz, I think. A keeper anyhow.

    Another wow! It looks a bit like some of the amazing jewellery that is being designed in Hungary and Ukraine nowadays. I am sure some of the other Eastern European countries as well, but those are the only two countries I know of.
    I have a contemporary Hungarian ring that would go very nicely with this. Totally ott silver, gold and gemstones, with floral decorations that seem to lead a life of their own.:playful:

    That is HONKING! Yeah, I find the stone a bit startling compared to the delicate flowers too. Perhaps it is the flowers that need to go and a different embellishment to go with the cuff and stone. Not that it can be changed... I "kinda" like it... but "kinda" don't! Either way it is a cool piece!

    It could also be an aquamarine of some type in its rough natural state. Though positivei identification of any gemstone via a photograph alone can be literally impossible for some gemstones.

    That's a thought - rough aquamarine, I mean.

    It's really well made, this lump. Needs a suntanned arm and a sleeveless white outfit!
