    Memo to self. Stop buying stuff because it intrigues you. Ain't gonna happen though.

    This is a rather nice set, even with two missing glass cabouchons. The mesh is metal, The bracelet clasp took me a good ten minutes to work out: one of the cabs is on a stalk and fits the tongue clasp.

    Obviously some age, but who? Haskell?

    :joyful:
    Could be inspired by 18th century mesh bracelets.

    That’s a thought. It’s very well made.

    The way the beads are attached to the bracelet looks very Miriam Haskell to me.

    The weave of the bracelet is unusual.

    I did wonder. Her stuff isn’t often found over here and I’m not that familiar with it.

    Of course, I would have bought it also just because it looks like it was very well made. ;):smuggrin::smuggrin:

    Do you think you'll be able to find a replacement for the 2 missing cabochons?

    I’ll have a damn good try, Peggy. It’s still wearable, I’m not precious about the odd imperfection on old things. I feel a hoard rummage coming on.

    Thanks Marie, I’ll go down that rabbit hole!

    Would have bought that in a heartbeat. Love the starburst effect of the clusters on the mesh.

    First thought too was Miriam Haskell. It's clearly by someone amazing. Wow.
