Some of the black enamel has worn off the bypass bands, a testament to its antiquity and longevity. The gold fill around the onyx centre is rose gold in tone and has worn off slightly along the corners and on the bottom of the fitting. The gold remains beautiful and perfect for many more years of wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bypass\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003ebangle has a closed diameter of 57mm, noting that it automatically adjusts with the spring mechanism to a larger, more comfortable size.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that there is a slight crack in the onyx stone.
