The signature look of Florenza is the interesting use of stones and expert metal work. Florenza has an antique looking gold tone and silver tone metal and many times uses a very creative use of color. According to Julia C Carroll, collectors appreciate the distinctive styling of the jewelry and use of expensive art glass stones in their designs. *Approximate Measurements: Length - 2 3/8 Inches, Width - 2 1/2 Inches
