In Constantine, what did Isabel drop before her suicide? It looks like a pair of rings.

What was the meaning of throwing them off the roof first?

    No prob. Welcome to Science Fiction & Fantasy! Do you by any chance know what Gabriel's bracelets signify?

  • @SQB thanks, and I've wondered what those hospital bracelets meant too. I don't know but I just read your post. I've always thought it was just part of the costume. Gabriel and Lucifer had Awesome outfits, creative and modern for the movie. So I thought the hospital bracelets were a cool addition to the whole outfit for him/her.

A closer inspection reveals them to be two heavy metal loops, presumably those used by the building's window cleaners to attach their materials to the roof.

Note that she didn't throw them, she accidentally kicked them off. In the original script it was a bottle but I'm guessing the filmmakers struggled to explain why there was a bottle sitting on the roof edge whereas "random roof stuff" makes more sense.

They are a shackle and a wire rope clamp. These are used for rigging when lifting something. As someone previously noted, probably supplies left behind by a window cleaning crew.
