This lovely vintage bangle was crafted around 1940 of 18k gold, silver, and fifteen red spinels. Red spinel was historically mistaken for either ruby or garnet, and has a rich history dating back centuries. In fact, it is a large red cabochon spinel, mistaken for ruby, which constitutes the "Black Prince's Ruby" in the British Crown. Its true identity as a separate gemstone didn't emerge until in the 19th century. The red spinels in this lovely bangle are of mixed cuts and colors, some a deeper red and others skewing slightly purple. The combinations makes for a very unique and interesting appearance. They have been set in silver to accentuate their color, with a secure hinge on the side and box clasp closure. The box clasp holds securely and is reinforced by a little security latch which can will ensure you don't lose this beautiful heirloom piece.
CONDITION NOTES:
The red spinels are of mixed color, cut, and clarity. There is light tarnish to the silver, but this serves as a testament to the bangle's age and history. In overall very good condition and hallmarked with two owl stamps, guaranteeing at least 18k gold purity. I recommend the bangle for someone with a small-medium wrist size. It fit me perfectly with a wrist size of 6.25".
