Up for auction is a vintage silver bracelet. This piece is older and quite beautiful -- Jensen-esque in its linked design, reminiscent of his dove bird pieces yet simply hallmarked on both portions of the well working tongue in lever fastener: STERLING, I find no other markings. I purchased it second hand from a local Alameda estate sale and I am uncertain as to its exact age...my best guess is 50 to 60 years old or better. It is immediate shy of 1" wide (at the widest part of the link it is about 15/16") and is comprised of six (6) links, one of which is the 2-part clasp. When closed it, the 2-part clasp, creates the final bird , the 6th link...a 2mm round wire cable linked chain is attached either side of the fastener and serves as its safety; this bracelet weighs 1.5+ ounces on a digital scale prior to packing. The link design is kind of an Arts & Crafts style of a standing bird, neck/head turned so that its beak rests on its shoulder...each looks to be preening themself and each has a stylized foliate weath border surround, please see pics. Link to link the connections are made by pairs of soldered oval loops attaching one segment to the next; the overall inside wearable length is 6 5/8". Each link seems to be of cast construction with hand worked/chased detailing on the front surfaces. Each link measures about 1 square inch (app. 1" x 1" x 1/8" deep) each segment has a slight curvature side to side and is somewhat thickish towards the center below the pierced area (w the body/wings of the birds are). T is wear appropriate for age, nothing gross...no scrapes, dings, etc. just over time and through use the details have 'softened'. Please see photos for your take on age, style, marking and condition. I find it in wonderful and wearable vintage condition as is, uncleaned without problems, a deepened patina in the recessed areas of the links and around the clasp. A quality piece, solid...robustly made, with a soft looking feel about it...lots of life left...a old beauty for sure, any interest? Please do not be misled by my opening bid...that is to help stimulate auction action and is in no way a reflection on the quality of this piece, I promise...please feel free to jump on in, the water is fine. U.S. Buyers ship USPS with Insurance and Delivery Confirmation services for $4.55. International Buyers I will ship to your confirmed address via Registered Air Letter with Return Receipt ($9.75) plus actual postage which covers insurance and confirms delivery to you. If you prefer less costly shipping, please contact me prior to auction's end to determine available delivery options to your location. I will gladly combine shipments at no additional cost whenever possible and safe to do so should any of my other items be of interest. Happy to answer questions and send photos, just ask. Have fun!
