1930s Silver Garnet Hinged Bangle Bracelet

A silver garnet bangle bracelet with closely set rows of deep red faceted stones around an oval band. The rich garnet colour contrasts with the smooth silver edges, giving this slender hinged bracelet an elegant, continuous decorative rhythm.Attributed by the owner to the 1930s, the bracelet features a hinged opening, clasp and attached safety chain. The metal has been tested by the owner using silver-testing acid; no silver stamp is reported, and its fineness is unspecified. Reference: SI024 Metal: silver, acid-tested by the owner; unstamped, fineness unspecified Stones: garnet, identified by the owner Period: 1930s, according to the owner’s attribution Supplied dimensions: 68 × 58 × 8 mm; these are not confirmed internal wrist-fit measurements Total weight: 25.6 g, including stones and safety chain, as shown in the photograph Design: oval hinged bangle, rows of garnets, clasp and safety chain Condition: visible surface scratches, patina and discolouration to the metal, particularly inside the band, with darkening around the stone settings. Please examine all seven photographs for details of the stones, interior and closure. A graceful piece for collectors of vintage garnet jewellery. The acid test does not establish a specific silver fineness, and the complete bracelet weight should not be read as fine-silver content.
