A most clever design, this Victorian sterling silver bypass bangle bracelet twists easily open to allow you to slip it on and off. The front ornaments of twisted-rib spheres are 3/8" in diameter and each is further tipped with a tiny smooth ball (one has a few nearly imperceptible indents). The domed bangle is 4mm wide and has an inner diameter of 2 ½"—quite appropriate for the modern lady. Stamped on the inside in incredibly tiny letters is "Ster" for sterling silver. This late 19th century find is in wonderful condition with no dents or crimps in the body and a soft and flattering patina of time.
