What an Absolutely Awesome Bangle Bracelet of solid,
quality English construction! With a warmer yellow hue, this bracelet features
a diamond cut stylized floral & scrolling foliate design scrolling across
the top and a smidge past the hinge and clasp with a design I liken to the
risining sun - Amazing! The delicate diamond cut detailing really makes the
design stand out and catch the light beautifully. A plain rim frames the design
top and bottom - the pictures really do provide the best description.
The hinge opens & closes smoothly and the
tongue and box clasp clicks shut with a snap. There is absolutely, positively
no way this one will fall off! A safety chain is in place for added
security.
It has that lovely silky smooth feel usually
only associated with solid carat gold. The gold has a shiny, mirror-like
finish.
