SUMMARY: a gorgeous, highly substantial, hand constructed work of art, natural coral bracelet by the great Ernest Roy Begay created for a large wrist. This bracelet's length with gap is 8". It would be possible to adjust the gap carefully but only with very great strength; most would consider it to be not adjustable.

This is a highly collectible and exquisite bracelet of unique, elegant and exceptional design.

Attributions on many of the old pieces of Native American jewelry are sometimes a moving target.

I am sincerely committed to ongoing accuracy.
