This special lava bracelet features Renaissance and Greco-roman philosophers, artists, and emperors. Each cameo was sold as a set, as they look very correctly juxtaposed. The lava follow a neutral hue pattern, from cream, to chocolate, to a special blue-gray that is just delicious.
This bracelet would've easily commemorated a trip to Rome or Italy, and could have been made by a man or woman.
