Condition

Both bracelets in good condition and bearing a nice weight. If twisted, the links can become temporarily misaligned but are easily realigned. Diamonds are approximately F-G color, VVS-VS clarity. Very flexible and well-made. One bracelet signed Boucheron Paris on the safety closure. The other bracelet signed Boucheron Paris on the clasp tongue and numbered 6.308 on the safety closure. In their present state, the safety closures prevent the bracelets from being securely joined into a necklace.
