What a Beautiful Bangle Bracelet of solid, quality English construction and complete with the original box of the jeweller it was purchased from! With a buttery yellow gold hue, this pretty bangle bracelet features a stylized floral & foliate design set within the plain bands, reaching beyond clasp and hinge with a design I liken to the rising sun. The delicate diamond cut detailing really makes the design stand out and catch the light beautifully. The back is plain & smooth. The hinge opens & closes smoothly and the hook-like clasp clicks shut with a snap.  There is absolutely, positively no way this one will fall off!  A safety chain is in place for added security. It has that lovely silky smooth feel usually only associated with solid carat gold. The gold has a shiny, almost mirror-like finish. HISTORY & HALLMARKS Era:                  c1960s Trademark:      H.G. & S. Maker:              Henry Griffiths & Sons known to be operating in the late 19th century into the 20th century Material:          9ct gold with a metal core (assumed 1/5th as they generally are) Gold Purity:     9 carat gold Being 1/5th gold/metal core means it is that this a solid bangle with a thick shell of 9 carat gold bonded to a jeweller’s alloy or metal core.  The 1/5 means 1/5th refers to the amount of gold in the construction - the gold is 4 times thicker when compared to standard rolled gold. Bangles with a metal core wear much better than bangles without one as they are easily dented and crushed.  The metal core provides durability and strength to their construction.  They were known to come with a warranty of 20 years and longer.   SIZING Suitable:          small-medium/average wrists - circumference of 17.4cm Diameters:        6cm & 5.23cm or 2.37” & 2.07” Width:              1.9cm or 0.8” Weight:            a very heavy 52.6 grams   OVERALL NEAR MINT Vintage condition!
