A beautiful antique bangle with the kind of detail that gives old jewelry its charm. This gold plated hinged bracelet has an engraved floral design, slim oval shape, and delicate profile that make it easy to wear on its own or stacked with other favorites.
Marked B&B, this bracelet is attributed to Bates & Bacon, a maker associated with engraved hinged bangles from the early 20th century. One of the details that makes this piece especially interesting is the floral engraving: the recessed design appears to have originally had black enamel or dark inlay accents, now mostly worn away with age. That worn contrast gives the bracelet a softer antique look and speaks to its age and use over time.
The inner size is best suited to a small wrist. The safety chain may be a later replacement.
Details:
Era: Circa 1905–1925
Material: Gold plated metal with remnants of black enamel or dark inlay
Condition: Good antique condition with light surface wear consistent with age, visible wear and loss to the original black enamel or dark inlay, and later replacement safety chain. Clasp closes perfectly.

Markings: B&B
Attribution: Bates & Bacon, Attleboro, Massachusetts
Fit: Best suited to a small wrist
