This is one of a few bracelets I own that are wearable because they are small enough. At the same time, that's not often because I'm afraid I'm going to hit the stone and crack it.
From the inside, it measures 4-1/2" around with a 3/4" gap. It is 3/4" wide at the center and tapers to 1/4" at the back. It is not marked anywhere and I don't have a testing kit. My magnet isn't attracted to it.
Although the pictures don't show it well, the stone is beautiful. I'm not sure what mine it is from...definitely not Kingman as I have a lot of that. This stone is a Robin's egg blue color and the matrix is gold/brown in color.
"Pre", as in "before"? Maybe yes, maybe no. Can't be sure just by looking at photos.

Thanks Efesgirl. That is so true. Pictures will tell nobody anything. That's why I don't do that much online buying...but periodically! We have a certified Native American Jewelry appraiser in town...I need to find what he charges.
You're right about that - often I see items posted here which have all four photos available, but I still can't tell a gol darn thing by looking at the photos. Gold colored/gold jewelry photographs as silver and many do not bother to alter the contrast or increase the red to show the item in it's true color. Very annoying. :-/
