For the nerds among us, Poly(methyl methacrylate) jewelry — or lucite. Also used in the Monterey aquarium, and viewing ports in a bathyscape that went to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. Here, it makes rather nice jewelry. I’ve found some items to be rather gaudy (depending on the amount of gold plating used), but the bracelets have been very nice. The non-hinged (unhinged?) ones have a small diameter so be aware. Not worth paying full price; recommend looking for sales.
