The bracelet is stamped with the initials MJ, but there are several jewelers documented with the MJ mark, so we do not know which one to acknowledge.This very classic silver band was started with a ⅝" wide strip, over which was added a ¼" silver strip and silver ball at each end. Two thin silver wires follow the form of the top of the bracelet from end to end. Situated across the top of the bracelet are 8 beautiful red coral cabochons. The silver behind the coral was burnished in black to highlight the coral.
