ABOUT:
I love figural jewelry and this glowing 18k beauty is lovely alone or in a stack. The piece wraps around the wrist in a sort of donut pipe shape leading up to the graceful swans on each side.
Rather than pull the two swans away from each other to open the bracelet, this one you twist north and south to allow you to slide it on the wrist.
Legible and elegant and in excellent condition.
Found in France but I can't find any hallmarks. Sold to me as 18k which is the standard there and tested to confirm with all the right patina as well.
Antique props not included. Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to decipher scale from photos.
SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:
Weight is 9.6 grams of solid gold. The pipe sort of fabrication is hollow for flexibility but is all real gold. It's about 60 by 48mm measuring the opening each way. It is about 7 inches wrapping a tape measure around the inside including the gap between the swans and can flex slightly. I have a 5.5 inch wrist and it stays on me so I could get away with it especially in a stack, although it spins on me to wear the swans fall to the underside so it would be better on a larger wrist.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Some patina which we love. No dings or dents or damage, excellent vintage condition.
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 : )
There are no dark spots to the gold, it just sometimes reflects its surroundings.
I enjoy making my customers happy and matching unique pieces with new homes. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions! It means a lot to me that you are visiting my shop! : )
