THIS LOVELY SILVER REPOUSSE AND HAND-CAST GREEN GLASS BRACELET, CRAFTED IN THE EARLY 1930'S TO 1940'S, IS FULLY HALLMARKED AND SIGNED BY THE ARTIST, "FMB". THIS DIMINUTIVE BRACELET IS DELIGHTFULLY WHIMSICAL. SMALL DEMI DISCS OF HAND CAST GREEN GLASS ARE RESTRAINED WITH TWISTED SILVER WIRE, DISPLAYED IN STERLING SILVER SETTINGS AND DECORATED WITH SCROLLS AND TINY REPOUSSE DEMI SPS. THIS IS NOT A MASSIVE AND HUMONGOUS BRACELET, BUT IS INSTEAD A FINE EXAMPLE OF HOW THE MEXICAN SILVERSMITHS WERE EQUALLY ADEPT AT WORKING WITH SUPERB DETAIL. THIS DELIGHTFUL BRACELET IS THE PERFECT ACCESSORY WHEN YOU NEED SOMETHING THAT ISN'T GARISH OR OVERPOWERING. IF BABY BEAR WERE PRESENT HE JUST MIGHT PRONOUNCE IT "JUST RIGHT!". CONSTRUCTION: THE 6 INDIVIDUAL SECTIONS ARE MADE BY FIRST ASSEMBLING SILVER BEZEL SETTINGS ON STERLING BASES, ADDING SCROLL AND REPOUSSE DEMI SP DETAILS, PINNED HINGES AND FINALLY A TONGUE-IN-BOX STYLE CATCH. ONLY AFTER ALL THE SILVER WORK IS COMPLETE ARE THE GREEN GLASS DEMI DISCS ADDED AND SECURED WITH THE TWISTED SILVER WIRE. SIZE: THE BRACELET IS 13/16 INCH WIDE, AND HAS A WEARABLE LENGTH OF JUST UNDER 7 INCHES. THIS MEANS THAT FOR THE BRACELET TO FIT YOU COMFORTABLY, THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF YOUR WRIST, AS MEASURED WITH A CLOTH TAPE MEASURE, SHOULD NOT EXCEED 7 INCHES. HALLMARKS: AS CLEARLY SHOWN IN THE DETAIL PHOTO, THE BRACELET
