Coro Pegasus Bracelet Filigree Flight Of Fancy. Cast a spell with the wave of your hand! Paired butterfly wings alight, sunning on your wrist. The linked, delicate-looking veined wings only appear fragile. Butterfly flight paths have been studied recently with miniscule radar transponder's. Even though their flight appears random, it's not random at all. Their looping behavior is a foraging technique to cover territory in search of food. To cover distance, they travel in a straight path, with single-minded purpose. This reminds Gianna's Gems of the radar detection abilities people develop for finding super jewelry.
Here is a wonderful example of the quality of the Coro Pegasus line. This versatile accessory is goldtone and 8" long. There is a generous foldover clasp so that you don't have to fumble, and a safety chain for added security. The Coro mark, in script, with Pegasus, is on the clasp.
