Description
This semi transparent antique bracelet is expertly hand carved in one piece, and features shades of brown to golden yellow. It measures 2.25″ wide. The inside diameter is small, measuring 2″ x 1.75″. Although it has some flexibility, it is meant for a small wrist. It is also typical for clothing of this era to be a very small size, so it is not surprising that this bracelet has a small diameter. It has lovely natural shading, and looks like a cuff when on.
Here is what AI says about this bracelet:
“The piece shows the classic mottled amber-to-dark-brown pattern and high polish associated with carved tortoiseshell jewelry. Thin areas are strongly translucent with warm amber tones while thicker areas are much darker, and the carved, open-work Victorian style is historically consistent with tortoiseshell use. The irregular, organic color veining looks natural rather than the uniform color or swirl pattern typical of molded plastics.”
