A gorgeous vintage bracelet which coils or wraps around the wrist. As such it fits most sizes but the smaller the wrist the more coils you get! I have an average size of wrist and it coils around twice with an overlap at the ends. This is made from big round deep blue beads which are some kind of plastic. They have a textured appearance and are mottled with lighter blue tones. They have lots of subtle gold speckles too which make the whole bead sparkle when the light hits them. Each end has a large bead as a dangle and this comes with its original tag which says Made in Western Germany. A great bracelet is lovely condition.
Bracelet which is unsigned but attributable to Eugene. Bracelet has 5 rows of beads, forming a length just short of 7 inches. These form a band which is approx. 1 inch deep. The beads are all metallic looking, some in dark blue-green and others in copper colours. All are facet cut so they catch the light and sparkle and some are smaller than others. The clasp is a large round push in/pull out lever clasp made from gold plated metalwork, now having a rich patina. This is wired with coppery metallic beads forming a flower head and to the top, left and right sides there is a coil of metal set with spacers with a larger round bead at the centre. These shapes form open leaf like shapes either side of the flower. All this decoration is 3-d in appearance and makes the clasp slightly larger than 1 inch across. Difficult to see for certain, but I think stringing is wire. I see wire at the ends where the rows attach to the clasp. Much much nicer in person. This does not fit me and I am a regular size of wrist. Just a bit too small so I would say this is more for a smaller wrist. In very good vintage condition.
A group of bangles or bracelets. First is a wide cuff type looking like it is made from chrome, but not sure about the metal type. This is approx. 1 1/2 inches deep and the type you "hook" over the wrist. Fits an average side but possibly you could just move the ends together a little further or open up a bit more. Across the front it has five gorgeous pink rhinestones, all with silver tone frames. These are pave set and facet cut with the smallest being the round stone which is just about 1/2 inch across. Oblong stones are the largest and there is an oval stone too. Two different pink tones, one lighter. Very very attractive and reminds me of Sarah Coventry retro bracelets but this is not signed. Price £12.00
Next a 1970's bangle looking like a deco piece. More retro though in age. This does have a gap between the two ends at the back and there is a little movement but only by 1/2 inch. Gap for your hand/wrist is approx. 2 1/4 inches measured from inside the bands. Fits regular sized wrist. On the front side it has triangular shapes in gold and silver. Both have a textured design. Also two shapes set with clear round pave set rhinestones. These still sparkle but possibly not as bright as when first made. Also lots of little silver dots on the bangle which is a design feature used on real deco pieces. I notice when looking through a glass 1 is missing but you would not notice this unless you study very very closely. The bangle is approx. 3/4 inches deep and it is thick, approx. 1/4 inch thick, made from some kind of plastic material. In very good vintage condition. Price £10.00.
Final bracelet of the group is very comfortable and easy to wear. It is metal, looking like chrome, but not sure what the metal is. This just stretches and will accommodate most sizes, although the closer the elongated S shapes are the better in my opinion. This is approx. 1 inch deep and it is in very good vintage condition and very well made. Price: £7.00
Postage and packaging is £3.00 per item but I do combine on more than 1 item.

Deco Bracelet
A very attractive deco bracelet made from metalwork which appears to have a gold wash. The panels are square but with cut out shapes which are very deco in styling. The bracelet is approx. 3/4 inches deep and it is approx.7 inches in length, securing with a push in lever clasp. Much nicer in person, this is very stylish around the wrist. In very good vintage condition.
Cream Clamper. Made from good quality plastic. Hinged. Fits average size wrist. Opens from the front, just pull gently. Very comfortable and much nicer in person.
The red clamper is the same as the cream clamper but is red!

P&P on each is £3.00 but I do reduce for combined postage and packaging.
Two French handmade bangles/bracelets. I purchased these together in France and one has a label saying Handmade France. This indicates it was made around 1950. Same for the other one, although the label is missing. Both have bands which are approx. 3/4 inches deep. Black bangle has silver panel at the front which is set with silver glitter pieces. Deep blue round pave set rhinestones highlight the design which has black arc shapes too.
Grey bracelet has a ribbed effect although it is smooth to the touch. It has a moonstone glow. Silver panel at the front decorated with silver glitter pieces and also the sun in black with rays. Pink pave set rhinestones highlight the shape.
Both fit an average size of wrist with gap for your arm at approx. 2 1/2 inches across, measured from inside, band to band. Both are made from plastics of some kind.
Price each bangle is £15.00.
P&P is £3.00 per item but I do combine for more than 1 item purchased from my stall.
Both in very good to very very good vintage condition.
Big Chunky Bracelet, Blue & Black
Gold Plated Bracelet with Safety Chain
A very attractive bracelet made from gold plated metalwork. Difficult to picture this piece because the connecting safety chain means it will not lay completely flat on my scanner. Hence the slight misalignment of the panels. However, when around the wrist this bracelet looks very attractive indeed. Panels are oblong in shape, approx. 1 inch wide by 1 1/2 inches in length and each is curved to fit around the wrist perfectly. This is a heavy bracelet with heavy panels so they are linked with substantial links in four places. Panels have a figural in relief and this looks Aztec in design too me! Bracelet has a substantial metal rod which you pull out from its home. Opposite end has a metal tube which fits in between two other metal tubes on the other side of the bracelet and then the metal rod is pushed back down and goes through all three, securing the bracelet. Sturdy safety chain attachment. This is an exceptionally well made bracelet and it is of an excellent quality. Unsigned, like so many designer pieces are. A great bracelet which looks fabulous and which is very comfortable too.
A gorgeous purple stoned bracelet. This has japaned metalwork and it fits most sizes, since the components are strung on elastric. Looks best on an average size of wrist though when all the stones remain together. The band is approx. 1 1/4 inches deep and stones are oblong, stones and round. All stones are prong set and all are a wonderful purple colour, which looks lighter or darker depending on the light. The bracelet looks fantastic when being worn and it is every so sparkling. It is very very comfortable too and cannot fail to impress. Stones are all facet cut. I cannot make up my mind whether they are glass or plastic, but nonetheless very beautiful. In very good to very very good condition.
A group of 3 enamelled bracelets, all the same except for their main colour. They are all gold plated with a criss cross banded effect over the body colour. There is a bright red bracelet, a cream and a black. All are hinged to one side with a push in/pull out lever clasp to the the other. Each is approx. 1/2 inch deep and they fit regular sized wrists. They measure approx. 2 1/4 inches inside the band from hinge to clasp and measured across the other way they are approx. 1 3/4 inches across (this is the size of the gap for your wrist). All are very attractive and all are in very good to excellent condition.
Price each is: £5.00.
Postage and packaging is £3.00 per item, but I do combine for more than 1 item.

Unusual Bracelet, Brooch & Earrings Set
A gorgeous and most unusual set comprising a bracelet, brooch and earrings, all made from gold plated metalwork. These pieces are all French and they are signed by the French designer. I can make out BG in captial letters but there is a signature in script proving more difficult to read. Could be L'Aerada, Paris, but not sure on this point. All pieces are signed. Metalwork is very substantial, i.e. the earrings and brooch are thick at approx. 1/8th inch each piece. The earrings and brooch are triangular in shape with the earrings being approx. 1 inch across all three sides and the brooch is approx. 2 inches across all three sides. Earrings are clip ons. All these pieces are decorated on the front with a triangular shape which is enamelled in deep green. This has a flower with flowing long petals which are coloured purplish red with gold touches with the centre being deep blue. There is a decorative border around the central panel made from metalwork looking like chain links and these stand slightly proud from the background metalwork. The bracelet is fantastic, has a polished rope like band which is approx. 1/4 inch wide. At the front this cross over at each end and the two ends have panels (see picture). One end has a 1 inch square shape and the other a 1 inch across circle shape. The circle has similar decoration to the brooch and earrings whilst the square shape has the same colours but different flower design. You pass this bangle over the hand onto the wrist. Gap for your hand/wrist is short shy of 2 1/2 inches across, measured on the inside, band to band. A most unusual set which is much more vibrant in real life. In great shape. French designers, in my opinion, are wonderful!
A gorgeous bracelet which is exceptionally well made. Bracelet is hinged to one side with a lever clasp to the other. It is approx. 1 inch deep and has a textured background. Over this are various Egyptian symbols as well are oblong bars with Egyptian type writing. Symbols include a scarab beetle which is very well detailed and which appears a few times. There is a snake of some kind which appears twice and also a strange character with very long neck which also appears twice. The bracelet fits an average size wrist and looks very attractive when being worn. It is comfortable to wear. Gap for your arm is just short of 2 inches measured from the back to the front, inside the band, and fractionally over 2 1/8 th inches when measured inside the band from the hinge to the lever clasp. In very good condition.
