Bracelet measures 2 5/8″ at the widest point and 2″ long. The agate stone measures 1 5/8″ x 1 1/8″. The six bracelet bands measure 2 1/4″ long and are 1/4″ wide. The photo shows the size of the Cuff on a 6 wrist, daylight can be seen on the open sides. The ring measures 1 1/8″ L x 5/8″ wide. This set is from the 1930s and the colors of the moss agate are rare. Brilliant corals, blues and wispy black markings that look like trees, leaves and sunset scenes. Due to age and origin the items are not marked and the purity of the silver is commensurate with its origination. The items were dealer tested to be solid silver and the bracelet is very heavy. Dealer valuation (verbal) was 80-100 for the ring and 400-700 for the cuff. There are a couple of very tiny scratches on the bracelet that can barely be seen in the photos. However, in consideration of the age, type of creation these are not significant detractors of value. Price is set low. These have been family owned for 80 years.
