Vintage Mexican "Double Sphere" silver fancy link station bracelet:
* This is a very old and highly collectible piece - anyone should be proud to add this to their collection or wrist
* Entirely hand formed - artisan made
* Double "Bench Beads" balls or orbs are cradled by double fleur de lis (or flor de lis in Mexico) on each station and linked with a fine twisted rope circle
* Showy oversized hook clasp with a simple and early mark of SILVER MEXICO
ESTIMATED AGE OR ERA = My best guess is first half of the 1900's - circa 1940's
METAL AND/OR MATERIAL = Mark just denotes SILVER - of what grade or fineness I can't say for certain - but 925 sterling silver was the most common
CLOSURE/CLASP = Oversized hook and loop latch
MARKS = SILVER MEXICO on the hook
MEASUREMENTS = Bracelet has a nice long wearable length of about 8.5" long and is 7/8" wide - suitable for larger wrists, which is a rare find in vintage jewelry
US RING SIZE = N/A
WEIGHT = 32.5 grams on my scale
CONDITION = Overall great vintage condition - no damage to mention. I can't even find a remarkable dent on the orbs to note - this is in quite excellent shape all around. Someone has cherished this for years and it surely shows
View & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina, and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged. I will do my best to note anything glaring or distracting. Please utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all. Pictures normally speak louder than words and individuals also interpret characteristics differently.
