Description from the seller
Rigid oval-shaped bangle bracelet dating from the second half of the 20th century. This vintage piece features a classic design, ideal for everyday wear, and is made of 8-karat gold (karat 333), as evidenced by its hallmark.
Characteristics
* Material: 8-carat yellow gold (punch "333" visible inside the clasp).
* Total Weight: 23.1 grams
* Height of the Bangle: 1 cm
* Inner Dimensions of the Oval: 6.5 cm (Long Axis) by 5.5 cm (Short Axis).
* Inner Circumference (Perimeter): Approximately 18.88 cm
Construction and Technique
The bracelet is built from a rigid gold band, its oval shape specifically chosen to fit comfortably to the wrist morphology. It features a hinged closure on one side and a safety latch on the opposite side for reliable securing.
The build reveals careful craftsmanship: small holes visible on the inside (manufacturing holes) have been left by the jeweler to allow evacuation of polishing products or decapping acids after fabrication, a common technical detail on hollow or semi-hollow bangles.
Condition
The bracelet is in good overall condition, typical of a vintage piece. The notable element is slight wear visible on the metal. There is a small transverse crack located on the exterior face of the bangle. This crack sits at the level of the horizontal weld line of the bangle, suggesting a slight unsoldering or metal fatigue at that spot.
Despite this wear, which should be noted for transparency, the crack remains superficial and does not affect the structural integrity or strength of the bracelet, which is fully wearable. The clasp and safety mechanism are perfectly functional.
