It was Kevin's grandmother's, but is a silver band that just slips on the wrist - you know the kind, no clasp, not a bangle, but with an opening to let your wrist slide in.<br /><br />Your's is a lovely one that's for sure.

It is quite pretty and sexy when worn that way. <br /><br />I will try and find you a picture of what I mean and I will send it to you.

And so sentimental to you, considering the fact that this jewelery is being passed on.<br /><br />I would agree with you that the last piece is indeed a pendant, considering that its shape (the silver lining around it) is different that the one on the pieces of the bracelet.<br />I would think it might be European, when I look at the delicate paintings on each piece.<br /><br />I have seen similar pieces that will have other motifs painted on, such as flowers or animals. I will do some more reserach and get back to you.;))<br />xoZuzanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137958790178864561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-78679892190891094702009-07-21T02:18:02.203-04:002009-07-21T02:18:02.203-04:00A very beautiful bracelet and I would also believe...A very beautiful bracelet and I would also believe the other piece is a pendant and not part of the actual bracelet due to it not quite matching the other pieces.<br /><br />And any granddaughter would be proud to inherit it due to it's family historical value on top of it being so unique.<br /><br />God bless.Mrsupolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01563854387767106508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-30916847140342202922009-07-20T23:16:11.993-04:002009-07-20T23:16:11.993-04:00Oops... that should say IT is beautiful!Oops... that should say IT is beautiful!Christian - Modobject@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09687272618188063178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357105223288312642.post-81488753815837607302009-07-20T23:15:41.302-04:002009-07-20T23:15:41.302-04:00Oh Betsy, I is beautiful!
