Vintage 9 carat yellow gold ruby and diamond bangle bracelet. This 1960s bracelet is such a lovely piece! Top section is heavily textured and engraved with scatted stars. In the centre of five of the engraved stars are rubies. The stars and rubies vary slightly in size adding to the look of this being a wonderfully imagined sky for your wrist.
This is a puffed, hallow, bangle, which is D shape in profile having a highly domed exterior and a flat interior with the inner edges curved just a bit for comfort but not so much the style is effected. A tongue in groove style clasp secures this bangle and it closes with a lovely satisfying click. An attached safety chain is the perfect finishing touch for additional piece of mind. Circa 1960s, made by Smith & Pepper.
