It arrived today. Totally gorgeous!!! Got the 20"(matinee) length. The 18" was sold out already by the time I ordered but it did come back in from cancellations.
The locking clasps are strong and secure. The rhodolite stones look more like traditional garnet to me and match a much older garnet/black onyx cuff that was presented around Holiday time that year. Wearing with an older pair of pearl/rhodolite drop Ripka earrings from the Q....this will be stunning!
Will wear out tomorrow and see how she flys. So far purely from visuals....it seems to be a keeper.
