ANTIQUE ART NOUVEAU 14K GOLD BANGLE BRACELET
With a pierced and engraved floral design; circa early 20th century
Item # C104205
A fine quality antique Art Nouveau bangle bracelet crafted entirely of 14k gold that has been beautifully pierced to create negative space around the floral designs, these intricately engraved and textured. The bangle opens on a hidden hinge and firmly clasps shut with a sprung-tongue push-button clasp further secured with a safety chain. The inside of the clasp is marked "14K". It wears comfortably with a 7 1/4" overall inner circumference and a nearly circular profile measuring 2 5/16" W x 2 3/8" H. It remains in exquisite original condition with vibrant surfaces throughout, these brought back to their brilliant high polish while still preserving a surface history of very light scuffs and use indicators.
