<p>[QUOTE="spartcom5, post: 1193430, member: 5213"]I found this 8k gold Victorian bangle today for $40. I had it tested with an XRF gun which is how I know it is 8k. Weighs 16.5 grams. Has no markings anywhere. The enamel is pretty well intact and overall decent condition aside from a couple dings and dents. The only thing wrong with it is the latch. It is loose and will not stay closed and ultimately unsafe to wear it! I am going to look into getting it fixed when I can but I am not sure what they will offer to do. What would be the appropriate fix? What if they offer to put one of those latches where it is like a ball and another piece fits over it? Anyhow it's a great piece I am glad to have found. I found another online and they described it as a wedding bangle, is this correct?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]213685[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]213686[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]213687[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]213688[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]213689[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]213690[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]213691[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
