Description

IF YOU LIKE VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE STUFF, PLEASE CONTINUE TO COME BACK OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND MONTHS, AS I AM CONSTANTLY LISTING NEW ITEMS VIRTUALLY DAILY...
PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEWEST VINTAGE & ANTIQUES COLLECTIBLES STORE -- "DALLAS VALLEY DISCOVERIES", OR
EBAY ID: DALLASVALLEYDISCOVERIES
, FOR MORE GREAT ITEMS...
I AM CONSTANTLY ON A BUYING SPREE (MOSTLY ESTATE AND ANTIQUE AUCTIONS), SO I HAVE LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF ITEMS TO LIST AS FAST AS I CAN.  ALL KINDS OF SMALLS AND LARGER ANTIQUES AND VINTAGE ITEMS.
I HAVE SOME MORE GOLD AND SILVER TO LIST NOW.  MOST ARE MARKED AS STERLING OR GOLD AND HAVE TESTED AS SUCH.  ALSO, MOST OF THE SILVER HAS AT LEAST SOME TARNISH OR PATINA ON IT.  I WILL LEAVE THE POLISHING TO THE TASTES OF THE NEW OWNER.  PLEASE NOTE:  EACH OF THESE ARE FROM
NON-SMOKING
SOURCES.
SO,
I HAVE RECENTLY ACQUIRED SEVERAL MORE HUNDRED VINTAGE-TO-ANTIQUE STERLING SILVER JEWELRY ITEMS
THAT I'LL BE PROCESSING TO LIST, AS FAST AS I CAN GET TO THEM (A LITTLE BIT OVER 10 POUNDS OF STERLING GOODS).
HOWEVER,
I'LL BE CHERRY PICKING SOME OF THE MORE INTERESTING ITEMS
AND LISTING THEM FIRST, JUST TO GET THINGS STARTED.
ADDITIONALLY,
I ALREADY HAVE MORE THAN 2000 STERLING SILVER ITEMS LISTED
, SO PLEASE CHECK THEM OUT AS WELL (
WITH DOZENS OF STORE CATEGORIES FOR THESE ITEMS
).
HERE IS A VERY LARGE "PUFFY" (HOLLOW), BUT THICKER "WALLED" CUFF BRACELET, WHICH WAS HANDCRAFTED AND HAND TOOLED.  I BELIEVE IT ALSO ORIGINATED IN THE MIDDLE EASTERN TRIBAL AREAS, BUT THAT'S JUST MY BEST GUESS ONLY (SO PLEASE USE YOUR OWN JUDGMENT ON THIS).
IT MEASURES APPROX. 2 1/2" x 1 7/8" (BOTH INSIDE MEASUREMENTS, MEASURED SIDE x SIDE AND CENTER TO THE IMAGINARY LINE BETWEEN THE TWO END CAPS).  IT ALSO MEASURES APPROX. 18mm WIDE ACROSS ITS CENTER TOP (MAX) x 15.5mm THICK (SAME SPOT).  IT THEN TAPERS DOWN FROM THERE TO THE END CAPS.
IT IS MADE OF SOLID BRASS THAT'S ALSO BEEN NICKEL PLATED.  THERE IS LIGHT WEAR TO THAT PLATING ON A FEW AREAS, AS I TRIED TO SHOW IN THE PHOTOS.  FOR THE MOST PART, THESE DON'T STAND OUT, EXCEPT FOR A SINGLE SPOT ON THE UNDERSIDE THAT'S SORTA RED (COPPERY) COLORED (MAYBE 2mm x 3mm (+/-)).
EVEN SO, THE BRACELET SHOWS JUST MINOR WEAR AND IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, OVERALL.
THE TOTAL WEIGHT OF THE LOT IS 32.70 GRAMS.
PLEASE NOTE:  I HAVE NATURALLY VERY DRY SKIN AND DEAL WITH CHEMICALS, SOLVENTS, SOAPS, ETC. ALL DAY LONG, SO SOMETIMES IT TAKES A TOLL ON MY HANDS.  I TRY TO WAIT TO TAKE PHOTOS UNTIL MY HANDS IMPROVED, BUT WITH THE BACKLOG OF GOODIES I NEED TO PHOTOGRAPH TO LIST, I DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED AT THIS TIME.  I PERSONALLY CONSIDER IT TO BE A BIT UNPROFESSIONAL, BUT I JUST COULDN'T WAIT ANY LONGER.  I HOPE YOU'LL UNDERSTAND AND I APPRECIATE YOUR BEARING WITH ME, DURING THE MEANTIME.
PLEASE ALSO NOTE:  I AM NOT A JEWELER, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF GEM EXPERT, SO I CAN'T (AND DON'T TRY TO) ACCURATELY GRADE GEMS, OR TRY TO PERFECTLY SIZE THEM.  I WILL GIVE MY BEST EFFORT TO GIVE YOU MY "BEST GUESS" ON THESE TYPES OF THINGS, GIVEN MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, BUT THEY ARE NOT GUARANTEES, AT ALL.  BUT, IF THERE ARE GEMSTONES IN THIS PARTICULAR LISTING, THEY HAVE BEEN ELECTRONICALLY TESTED, AND ARE GUARANTEED TO BE AS LISTED.  ALSO, I AM WEARING MY OWN WEDDING RING IN THESE PHOTOS, SO IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING A RING (OR RINGS) IN THIS LISTING, IT WILL BE FOR THE OTHER RING(S) SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS.  THANKS!
THE PICTURES ARE TO BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION
