A gorgeous lava bracelet with fabulous masques. With beautiful and wonderful carved faces in super condition, with one tiny hair line crack in one of the rectangular flower plaques. This can hardly be seen but must be pointed out. Gold safety chain is a later addition, but good for safety.

Lava jewellery was made about 1700 years after the first eruption of Mount Vesuvius when the missing cities of Pompei, Herculaneum and Dtabilae were discovered.
This is a rare and exceptional piece. Layaway options available.
