The black enamel adds a sharp pop of color that stands out against the wrist, and the pointed tip of its edges are ribbonlike and lyrical. The diamond’s setting holds the stone up high, a 1/4” above the bracelet, and is open so that the diamond is visible from all sides and appears to float. The center of the buttercup setting is open as well to let in even more light. The bracelet has a nice clean look that is simple on the wrist


The natural diamond is 4.2 mm and 1/4 of a carat. It is G-H in color and SI11 in clarity. The bracelet measures 6.25” and fits a smaller wrist. The band is 3.7 mm at its widest point and 1.8 mm on the bottom at its narrowest point. It weighs 14.5 grams. The bracelet has a very secure clasp, as well as a safety chain. It is marked as 14k and with the maker’s mark SJB.
