ABOUT:
Awesome color and unique construction to this French antique linear panel chain bracelet. The piece has four panels holding six bezel set rubies on each. these are separated by links that are set with a larger ruby and drilled pearls.
The rubies appear to be synthetic, a very popular choice for the period. The bracelet is made of 18k gold, with French hallmarks on the insert of the clasp which is where I purchased it. A great wrist stacker with a wonderful color to the pinkish red rubies, and the linear links making it still relevant and wearable today. I love antique pieces like this that are still so timeless, relevant and on trend.
MEASUREMENTS:
Just trying to wrap a tape measure around the inside, it is around 6 inches. It is just a bit too snug on a 6 1/4 inch wrist and I am able to wear it well on my 5.5 inch wrist. So that would be a good range.
The safety chain adds length when the clasp is opened.
The largest rubies are 3.8mm and the smaller are about 2mm.
The bracelet weight is 5.6g.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
In really nice conditions with just a few nicks and nibbles and some surface wear. Really nothing eye visible or glaring, no chips or cracks or repairs. The clasp works well and the loops are in good shape.
Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. They will have patina, surface wear, a few small nicks. These pieces may also have evidence of a sizing, some build up around the stones and / or inclusions seen under magnification, typical for antique pieces. I have mentioned any noticeable issues above and they are all still wearable and eager to be loved and accepted for many years to come, (the preservation of antique jewelry, even those with signs of their age and history, is important to me. : )
But - Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition. Pictures also serve as part of the description and condition report so please utilize the zoom feature which will magnify any wear significantly more than what is visible to the eye while wearing : )
I would be delighted if you'd follow me in my shop. Thanks for stopping by!
