ABOUT:
Really beautiful antique solid silver hinged bangle bracelet with raised floral design on the front with rose and green gold vermeil.    It has a push button that contracts the clasp to slide out and click back in to close the bracelet securely.  It has a safety chain to hold the two pieces together. It fits me with room to spare but please note the measurements and smaller size.
This is an antique piece that I acquired in Europe from the Victorian to Belle Epoque period.  I believe there is a shadow of a hallmark on the inside bracelet where the clasp click into place but it is so small, it may be a nick : ). Tested and guaranteed solid silver though and clearly looks and acts it as well with no underlying metal and a beautiful shine and patina.
MEASUREMENTS:
The inside opening a little over 2 1/4 by almost 2 inches.  My wrist is about 5 1/2 inches in diameter and it fits me nicely with just a bit of room to spare but I cannot slide it off without opening the clasp.  The bracelet band is 14mm wide.  It weighs 17 grams.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
All my pieces are preowned and in estate condition.  A few very shallow impressions to the smooth back half of the bracelet, made more notable by the mirrored finish there, it appears like a ripple here or there.  Surface wear, scuffs and deeper scratches.  It polished up nicely and functions well, could be cleaned up further but I like patina on antique pieces.  Some tarnish in the hard to polish areas inside curved edge.  Hinge is nice and tight, clasp snaps closed securely. Very beautiful design.  But as I deal in antique pieces, like all my listings, please note this is not a mint condition item.
