Gorgeous!
"The pictures don't do it justice" is a tired cliche, but in this case, it's completely true! The bracelet is a work of art, and the quality and craftsmanship are outstanding.

This is NOT some cheap, mass-produced item from a factory in the land of novel viruses; rather, it is jewelry that I'd call heirloom quality. It truly is beautiful, it's nicely sized but not so huge that it'll be uncomfortable or awkward to wear, it arrived a little ahead of the shipping estimate, and she loves it. I'm extremely satisfied with the purchase!

Perhaps I'll take it to the lake in Central Park and see if another real one will show up to keep mine company.
