Beautiful, Highly Detailed, Signed Vintage WEH Sterling Silver Etched Western Floral Scroll Design Hinged Bangle Bracelet.
This bracelet measures about 7/16 of an inch, or approximately 11.1125 millimeters, wide, and just over about 3/16 of an inch, or approximately 5 millimeters, thick. The closed bracelet measures just over approximately 7 and 1/16 inches in interior circumference or, if you prefer, interior width is about 2 and 3/8 inches, interior depth is approximately 2 and 1/4 inches. Opened, the slide safety adds about 1 and 5/8 inches gap. (Included you will find a US Quarter in the photographs, for the measurement-challenged and ruler-averse.) Weight is approximately 16.18 grams. Inscribed, "C.N.A. BB 1981", inside. Stamped on the slide and again on the interior surface of the bangle, "Sterling", and signed, "WEH".
This bangle is in very good vintage condition. It will have the expected surface scratches and possibly a few tiny dings to the silver from normal wear. No large dings, no dents or creases found. There is a an inscription engraved inside, where it's not visible when worn. The hinge works well. The clasp doesn't close as perfectly as one might like, but holds securely. The pushbutton release is a little hard to push, but functions well. There is a tiny spot where the etching went all the way through the silver, leaving a hole which merely appears black to the eye, like a bit of tarnish. Hand polished extensively, but it may need further attention, as it was completely black with tarnish when begun.
A very pretty signed vintage Sterling silver etched bangle bracelet. Eye catching and sparkly, with lots of feminine detail, in a nice wide profile.
