HISTORY, PROVENANCE, ANECDOTAL, METAPHYSICAL, SYMBOLISM &/or LORE: Each Canadian province (and territory) has been granted or adopted emblems that represent their individual sovereignty and identity. These include are coats of arms, flags, provincial floral emblems, animals, plants, minerals and, in some cases, tartans. Through symbolism, they are meant to convey features of their region and its inhabitants: history, geography, natural resources, flora and fauna, human activities, values and aspirations. While the description of a coat of arms in the specialized language of heraldry never changes, stylistic execution and even sizes and proportions vary. This allows the localized provincial governments artistic license and the permission to give their coat of arms a different updated look from time to time, provided the basic elements and messages remain the same.


JUST FOR FUN - AI DESCRIPTION - (GENERATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE): This antique vintage bracelet is a stunning piece of Canadian history. Made of enameled sterling silver, it features a Canadian Providence crest flag design with a hinged buckle or fold over tension closure. The bracelet is 7.5 inches in length and has a panel style. Signed by BM Co, this bracelet is a perfect addition to any jewelry collection. It is suitable for any occasion, including Christmas, graduation, every day, Canada Day, anniversary, birthday, any day, special occasion, engagement, Mother's Day, wedding, boxing day, Canadian holiday, Victoria Day, confirmation/communion, and Valentine's Day. The bracelet is an original piece from the Art Deco era (1915-1935) and is a great representation of Canadian culture.

CONDITION: Great antique / vintage condition - enamel very well intact and only one small casing void and solder blue on the crest panel with the yellow lion by the clasp. Both very minor and original to the bracelet. In an excellent state of preservation.

"A picture is worth a thousand words"

Please 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 and not mentioned. Especially if obvious and/or prominent in the photos. Individuals do have varying levels of desire and tolerance for "vintage charm" so do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all, as they are an important integral part and extension of the description.
