What an Absolutely
Stunning bangle from a highly renowned maker! It is larger in size than
most and the hand-tooled design is truly gorgeous.
The top is features stylized Cabbage Roses – the Ambassadors of
Love – and foliage, all delicately detailed. The pictures will best provide the
description - just Magnificent! It really is Exquisite with the superb
craftsmanship unlike any see today.
The back and interior is totally plain and smooth. It is an
elongated square-oval shape so it can be worn comfortably as a cuff bangle. Its
“hidden hinge” is functioning as new & the clasp opens to reveal an
internal sliding bar as a security feature – it snaps closed securely!
The gold has a soft, rose/pink
hue with yellow highlights and the colour in the pictures is true-to-life.
It has that silky smooth feel usually only associated with solid carat gold
which is to be expected of quality antique jewellery.
