An antique Chinese enameled silver and coral bead bangle. The siver is in the shape of 2 dragon heads. The dragons have shaded blue, turkoois purple and yellow enamel on them and little Coral eyes. There are many antique hand carved coral beads makeing up the body of the bangle. Two marks Silver. They are wound around a slightly wrapped wire core. It is a slip on style bangle. No catch or hinge. I measured it around the INSIDE and get 18 cm. or 7.1 inches around. Weight 60.5 gr. It is for a person with a normal small hand and wrist. I can slip it on because it's open but I would say a person with a larger hand would not be able to get it over the hand and onto the wrist. Seems to be in very nice antique condition
A larger wrist could wear it if you put on using the 'roll on' technique. Stick one end between your wrist bones on the underside of your arm, and 'roll' it on. I don't know how else to describe it!
Very nice piece!
