Beautiful, Exuberant and Colorful, Vintage Handmade Sterling Silver and Fancy Red and Turquoise Fused Glass Glass Bead Heart-Themed Bracelet. This bracelet is strung on heavy silver wire, not plastic filament.
The bracelet measures approximately 7 and 5/8 inches, from end to end, and will fit (fastened) at about 7 and 1/2 inches in length. The largest beads in the bracelet measures just over approximately 11/16 of an inch, or 17.5 millimeters, wide, the smallest are just under about 1/4 of an inch, or approximately 6 millimeters, wide. (Included please find a US Quarter in the photographs, for the measurement-challenged and ruler-averse.) The bracelet is stamped, "925", on the clasp lever, unsigned. Also discreetly acid tested as solid Sterling. Weight is approximately 22.2 grams, which includes the glass weight, of course.
This bracelet is in very nice (newer) vintage condition, but may exhibit the expected surface scratches and tiny dings to the silver from normal wear. No visible chips or cracks to the glass beads, no dented silver beads. The heart shaped lobster claw clasp works as designed and holds securely. Hand polished, but it may need further attention before wear.
A very unique and pretty, handcrafted, vintage Sterling silver and glass beaded bracelet. Wonderful applied details and fused designs in a bold but feminine piece with a sense of fun.
