CONDITION:
VERY GOOD: In extraordinary condition for a Victorian aesthetic bangle of this age! The hinge and clasp are both strong and snap shut tight with a satisfying "click"! The front of the bangle is as near to perfect as you could ask of a bangle that's 133 years old. It has a small ding here but all the pretty floral engravings are beautiful and hide this small imperfection. All the "beads" on the beaded edge are also in good condition, which is very rare indeed. Quite often we find these with damaged or missing beads. These are all intact save for a small pinhole in the top of two of them. There is also a lovely patina to the Silver, showing off the age of the piece and making the details really pop!
