For your consideration, this Very Cool, Fierce But Lovely, Vintage Handcrafted Sterling Silver Round Bangle Bracelet, with Applied Wrapped Ring Detailing.
The bangle measures about 3/16 of an inch, or approximately 4.7625 millimeters, wide at the band portion and approximately 1/4 of an inch, or about 6.35 millimeters, wide at the rings. The bracelet measures approximately 7 and 3/4 inches in interior circumference. If you prefer, interior width, or diameter, is about 2 and 7/16 inches. (I have included a US Quarter in the photographs, for the measurement-challenged and ruler-averse.) I did not find any stamps as to content, nor any signature, but have acid tested this bracelet to confirm it is solid Sterling silver. Weight is approximately 12.3 grams.
This bracelet is in good vintage condition, but will exhibit the expected surface scratches, tiny dings and patina from normal wear. The bangle is still round, though it no longer sits perfectly flat, if it ever did, as there are no discernible bends. This is a handmade item, and will not be machine-perfect in any way. There is a light acid test mark on the bangle which will come away completely with more polishing, if you choose to do so. I have polished this, but it may need further attention before wear, as it was completely black with tarnish when I began. Please try to ignore the dark and/or blotchy areas in the photos. These are merely lens flare and the reflections of the black camera lens and tripod.
A very nicely handmade vintage Sterling bangle bracelet. Super stylish and simply beautiful.
The USPS has raised rates, yet again, so we've had to increase shipping prices to cover the higher cost. Sorry, but there's nothing we can do!
I do my best to give honest and accurate descriptions of every item I sell, but I am no expert. So please, please, look at all of the photos and read descriptions closely before you bid. Please email me for any clarifications you need prior to auction's end. Please be aware that all weights and measurements are approximate! I am using an inexpensive scale and a ruler.
We go to great lengths to provide copious measurements, a coin in the photos for scale, etc. It behooves the buyer to do us the courtesy of using these tools. Unless otherwise noted, everything we sell is vintage, antique, used, secondhand, and will have commensurate wear.
Shipping: We have decided to change our shipping policy, and no longer include insurance on the less expensive items. (Simply put, if the shipping cost listed is less than $5.70, no insurance is included.) Ebay says we have to include it, and we were following that mandate, but other sellers are not. Our buyers have been voting on the issue by leaving us low star ratings on shipping cost, which we simply cannot afford. So, now the shipping cost you see will include delivery confirmation only,no insurance. We just don't know what else to do. We encourage you to add insurance, but will make it optional. Let us know if you'd like to add insurance before you pay, so we may add the cost to your invoice. The USPS charges anywhere from $2.20 and up, depending on the amount insured. When offered, free shipping applies within the US only. Economy shipping can be SLOW. If you need an item in a short period of time, please request a quote for Priority or Express shipping!The estimated shipping times are estimates only, and we have no control over a package once we have shipped it.
Payment: Please place a bid only if you intend to pay for your purchase. Please make your Payment within 4 calendar days of auction end. If you need more time, please contact us, so that an unpaid item report is not filed. Thank You!
Combined Shipping: We are happy to combine shipping whenever it saves you money. Please let us know if you plan to bid on multiple items, and we will calculate the combined shipping in one invoice for you. Sales Tax: 7% Required for NC buyers only. (I know. I hate having to charge it, you hate having to pay it.)
International buyers: Please contact us before you bid, we sell Internationally on approval only, and do not ship to all countries. Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility. Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as gifts - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior. *Any items which sell for over $25.00 will be shipped via USPS Global Express Mail, as First Class International packages cannot be insured, and this is now our least expensive option. Global Express is usually very expensive, which we regret, but cannot control.
