    Description

    I am selling an assortment of vintage to antique jewelry and rings which I have hunted for and gathered from around the world.  Some examples seen in the last photo - thanks for stopping by!
    ABOUT:
    Really beautiful and rare antique solid silver adjustable bangle bracelet with 3D wood grain swirling knot/ leaf design and delicately etched shoulders in all over gold vermeil.    It has a button on the back with three slots to slide into to adjust the size as the silver is flexible and springy to slide it into place.  Inside the face of it, it is engraved "Souvenir" so it may have been a souvenir from the Victorian Grand Tour.
    This is an antique piece that I acquired in France from the Victorian to Belle Epoque period.  Marked with the boar's head hallmark on the back for French solid silver items. Also has a maker's mark.
    MEASUREMENTS:
    On the largest setting, The inside opening a little over 2 1/4 by 2 inches.  My wrist is about 5 1/2 inches in diameter and it fits me nicely with a bit of room to spare on the widest setting and then when I put it on the tighter setting it holds it in place so it does not spin on my wrist.  The knot on the top is 28mm wide.  It stands 17mm off the wrist and weighs 27 grams.
    IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
    All my pieces are preowned and in estate condition.  A few areas of discoloration.  Some loss to the vermeil on a few of the raised sections of the knot but the designs are still crips.  The inside of the bracelet has some small raised bumps where the vermeil layer is separating from the silver but they have not flaked away so it still appears as gold.  It polished up nicely and functions well, could be cleaned up further but I like patina on antique pieces.  Some tarnish in the hard to polish areas inside the knot.  Very beautiful design.  But as I deal in antique pieces, like all my listings, please note this is not a mint condition item.
    Thanks for stopping by!
