With Fabulous
design & styling, this Antique Heirloom hidden hinge bracelet exudes the
Highest Quality. The top is hand tooled with an array of floral and
acanthus foliage that catches the light at every turn. Delicate detailing to
the background really makes these design elements come to life. The back is plain and smooth. The Craftmanship is
outstanding an unlike the mass-produced machine made jewellery of today. It
really does need to be seen in person to be appreciated.
The push button clasp is very secure – the pin tab is pushed down to release
the catch. It opens as it should revealing an internal sliding bar as a safety
feature and snaps closed securely with the hinge in perfect working order.
It has the silky smooth feel usually only associated
with solid carat gold and expected of quality antique jewellery. The hue is a warm, understated soft pink/rose
gold, not the bright coppery rose gold of today.
