I believe they had something there. A stone or a Masonic symbol? I have this pair. The cuffs are gold-filled and the symbols are a small pieces of 10K gold. I tried to get 25 bucks out of them and found there were no takers. The little 10K gold pieces may weigh 0.03 grams together. I'll try again later this year to unload them. That ones cool. Nice find.
