Also to finish my last reply, the person that looked at the bracelet to tell me what they thought the stones were had a small loop that I loaned her, we were at church, and I didn't know to ask her if the stones were created or not. Also, I don't know how to tell karat weight, but the stones measure ~3/4 cm long by ~1/2 cm wide. The pics show it is beautiful, but so don't do this bracelet the justice it deserves! The shine is almost blinding when all those stone caught the light, but in full bright sunlight, EXQUISITE
