I have doubts about the bauble hanging they present. If they had the technology to shape and polish the bracelet so finely, then I suspect they could have instead shaped and polished another more ornate and valuable stone to set/glue into the hole.

My though is that many women like the touch of an object on sensitive skin (earrings, a case in point), else why do women to this day wear bracelets with dangling objects? As for setting a stone, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
