Antique French Plaqué or Laminé Floral Bracelet Rolled Gold Hinged Bangle

Antique French Plaqué or Laminé Floral Bracelet Rolled Gold Hinged Bangle

ABOUT:

A beautiful antique French bracelet featuring intricate floral engraving and a war, rosy gold surface.  Dating to the early 20th century, this elegant hinged bracelet showcases the romantic floral motifs and beautifully detailed craftsmanship characteristic of antique European jewelry.

The interior is stamped "PLAQUÉ OR LAMINÉ," indicating a traditional rolled gold construction in which a substantial layer of gold is bonded to a base metal. This is a much more durable historical technique than simple surface plating and is often referred to as rolled gold or gold-filled in English language jewelry terminology. 

It features a secure push-button clasp and hinge, both in excellent working condition. Many bangles of this age struggle to stay closed, but this one holds beautifully, making it safe and easy to wear with confidence.

The bracelet measures approximately 7/8" high with an inner diameter of 2 3/8", making it a versatile size that stacks beautifully or stands alone as a statement.

All of the jewelry listed here is antique and pre-owned, meaning it may show signs of wear, which is a testament to its rich history and the stories it carries. Far from being “perfect” or “brand new,” this is what makes antique pieces so special – they’ve been loved, cherished, and worn over time. I believe that these imperfections only add to their character and charm, and they’re ready for their next chapter with you.

As with all antique jewelry, the stones may show subtle signs of wear, like surface abrasions or a natural patina, which only add to their unique character. Antique cuts and settings can differ from modern styles, contributing to their charm and individuality. Any significant imperfections or repairs will be clearly noted in the listings. Thank you for appreciating the beauty of their uniqueness!

Shipping insurance is required and INCLUDED in cost for any item over $200 to ensure your purchase is fully protected during transit.
