What an Absolutely
Awesome Bangle Bracelet of quality English construction! No
pictures will ever do a Beauty such as this any justice! With a buttery yellow
gold hue, this bracelet features a diamond cut stylized foliate design
scrolling across the front while the back is plain and smooth. The delicate
diamond cut detailing really makes the design stand out and catch the light
beautifully. The pictures really do provide the best description.
The hinge opens & closes smoothly and the
clasp that snaps shut securely. A safety chain is also in situ. There is
absolutely, positively no way this one will fall off!
It has that lovely silky smooth feel usually
only associated with solid carat gold. The gold has a shiny, mirror-like finish
with a buttery Yellow Gold Hue.

provides durability and strength to their construction. They were known
to come with a warranty of 20 years and longer.
