    Hi,I was wondering if anyone could help me dating and possibly identifying a maker for this bracelet.The only marks I can find are 'made in France'.Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks photostudio_1678867777720.jpg photostudio_1678868004016.jpg photostudio_1678868108526.jpg photostudio_1678868191558.jpg photostudio_1678868263594.jpg

    Not an expert but it looks earlier part of the 20th century to me.
    No idea about the maker, sorry.
    Nice bracelet!

    Nice bracelet! It looks kind of short; is it long enough for an adult wrist?

    I know nothing, but it is so pretty I can't hardly stand it.

    The big, dark navy blue center stones look like they have pitted popped bubbles on the back, so I'd speculate some type of plastic.

    I'm getting out the popcorn and watching this thread to find out if anyone knows who made it.:joyful:

    Thank you,It is about 20.5cm long to the end of the clasp and about 3.5cm at the widest points.

    I know from wallowing in cameos that French makers do beautiful work in glass.

    I was going to ask about the length too, because it is odd to have something that has to take on a roughly circular shape be composed of an even number of straight segments. I thought perhaps someone had shortened a 5 panel bracelet, but, even if you included the length of the clasp tongue in the overall length, at approx. 8 inches it is unusually large for a woman's bracelet, especially for a vintage piece. I think seeing 4 panels when it is laid out is what is making it look stubby when it is not.

    Thank you.
    Yes you are right about the 4 panels making it look stubby.I can't really find many 4 panel with that design.
