Here we have a diamond-studded bracelet. The braclet is comprised of two rectangle-like faces, two oval links and three band hinges. Every shape and every surface of the bracelet is affixed with diamond, making it heavily studded and dense with shine and intricate details. The rectangles are the largest components on the bracelet: they have rounded corners, varying set heights, and varying cut shapes for studs to frame and emphasize the promient circular diamond in the shape's middle. On either side of the rectangles are three rows of diamonds that create attaching and hinging bands. Their surfaces are also diamond-studded and connect the central oval in between the squares and the outer oval clasp. Both ovular links have three subtle curving edges on the interior, and the end side oval has a bar on its long edge for the opposite band clasp to attach to.
