In good condition. The quartz display a smoky grayish brown hue, and are eye-clean; quartz at the female clasp end shows long dark color striations diagonally through the stone. Setting does show some signs of wear and there is discoloration between the over-sized links that is not noticable when the bracelet is on the wrist. Total gross weight approximately 163 dwts. Please note the mounting is vermeil, not gold. This bracelet was included in Tony Duquette's Talismans of Power Collection created circa 2000, and was featured in Balmain's Paris runway fashion show when Oscar de la Renta was designing for the fashion house. Please note that the estimate is $7,500-10,000 not $15,000-20,000 as stated in the printed catalogue.
