    I am not sure Torkel, I have this bracelet listed separately, that is, not as part of this parure.

    I think it lacks turquoise. Hard to tell for sure but it is also not "fringey" like the necklace and earrings.

    I call this bracelet the "sapphire studs" since they seem to stand out. HM other sapphire have noticeable diamonds.

    Cheers!
