ORIA French Antique Gold Fill Chunky Curb Link CHAIN Wide BRACELET France Wriststack Belle Epoque

Champagne taste on a beer budget?
Today's stock drop consists of all vintage and antique pieces in silver or gold filled (as specified).
Did you know - Mouse's House started in silver and gold fill? Some of these are personal collection releases and some from my inventory trips to Europe.
Even though I sell mostly solid gold now, I like to have some of these to wear when I travel vs. traveling with solid gold and its record high prices.
All are being sold as is, in pre-owned condition with signs of age and wear.
Additional items shown in photos are listed separately in the shop and are shown for scale and color comparison.

ABOUT:
Nice quality French antique gold fill bracelet by Orin.
This is stamped ORIA on the bale/ring, which, similar to the FIX hallmark, indicates a process of high quality hot gold foil laminating onto brass originating in Paris in the late 1800s / early 1900s. This mark indicates that an unusually thick layer of 14-18k gold foil over brass forms the jewelry to withstand long term wear. It can sometimes be mistaken for and acid tests as real gold. The FIX and ORIA stamps were registered to protect the integrity of this superior quality laminated gold filled jewelry and the companies used only the best Art Nouveau designers of the time.

It has a lovely shimmer and shine with sturdy hand feel.

Antique boxes, props, extras, etc are not included. Listing is for the one piece shown in the cover photo. Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to determine scale from pics. We lovelies all come in wonderfully unique shapes and sizes : )

MEASUREMENTS:
A little over 6 1/2 inches end to end. 7.2mm wide. It weighs over 12 grams.

IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Some loss to gold fill so it has varying antique hues, which are actually beautiful. Spots of patina. These often need an occasional re-polish after sitting in the jewelry box for a long time (at least compared to high carat solid gold).
Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. 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. : ) 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. They are all still wearable. Sold as is.
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 : )
