Just purchased this from an estate auction This is the most exquisite vintage diamond bangle bracelet.Look at the photos for a better description. 7 1/2 "circumference.A whopping 29.2 g. Diamonds are phenomenal. Do not know the total carat weight but there are a lot of diamonds.
Does anyone know the value of this bracelet and when it was made?
I haven't had a chance to look closely at your bracelet, but should mention that CW does not offer appraisals.
Also, are there hallmarks on the inside, or any stamps or markings anywhere else on the bracelet. If it's gold then most times, not all, the hallmark can tell where it was made and the age.
From a cursory look I can see one central diamond, and marcasites coming down towards the clasp. I can't see the top end of the bangle very well 'cos of glare. How many diamonds are there?
If it were mine I would take it to a reputable jewellery appraisals, perhaps one that deals with antique and vintage jewellery, and get an opinion from a professional.
The clasp is very pretty, but a couple of your photos are out of focus. It's a very lovely bangle and I hope some other CW'ers will come by and give their impressions.
Welcome to CW - stick around and have a look at some of the jewellery articles and examples here. Also you could do some research on eBay or Ruby Lane using your heading here in your search. I can sense your excitement, do you collect jewellery of any kind?

appraiser not appraisals - sorry
Hi Gillian, I cannot find a makers mark. And they are all diamonds not marcasites. Thank you so much for your information. I am going to look up Ruby Lane. Also researching appraisers in my area for vintage jewelry.
