I have seen only one other of this signed Salvador Teran bracelet. The stones are fitted perfectly with onyx. There are 2 sets of hinges that give a comfortable fit. The face front is 1 1/8th inches tall and tapers to half an inch in the back. A very thick Mexican silver bracelet with a weight of 80 grams. The inside diameter is 2.25in. and will fit most. Certainly should be put on a collectors list of must haves.
