Costume Bracelets

Lovely 1950s or earlier vintage estate bangle bracelet that is gold filled and/or gold plated and has fancy carving going around the top. Although the rod closure and lock are present the lock is no longer working. Good for repair, recycle, restore... Size is very small so this was likely used by a baby or toddler with a large wrist, a child or teen or very petite woman with a very tiny wrist. Size of the inside opening is 1 5/8" across in diameter. Width across top of bracelet is 1/8", very narrow. These are not commonly found in child sizes so this one is a little unusual. Other than the lock issue it is in excellent condition. Lovely older vintage bracelet for a good winter project to restore the lock!

This is a gorgeous Never Used green molded glass jade Goldette scarab bracelet. If you collect vintage Goldette you will recognize the pebbled back of the centerpiece which is very, very heavy gold plated with a pebbled texture and dark antique finish. As is often the case on these vintage Goldette pieces the signature is likely underneath the very thick heavy gold plating. More often than not Goldette covered their signatures with many layers of gold plating being concerned with the quality of their product. Their signature slide bracelets are very beautiful and well made. This one has a double chain slide and a well molded deep carved green jade scarab centerpiece. It came from the estate of an old Goldette jewelry distributor from the 1950s to the 1980s many decades ago. Like new ready to wear condition. Absolutely no wear at all to the gold. Still very bright and very shiny. Size is 7 1/8″ long end to end laid flat with the clasp end closed. Should fit a small to medium small wrist size easily. Width is 7/16″ across the scarab center. This is a fine example of Goldette slide bracelets for your vintage jewelry collection. Goldette Reference: Goldette vintage bracelets are commonly signed, and because the brand often utilized a heavy, antiqued "Russian gold" plating, the signature—usually in script—can appear "under" or filled in by this plating, particularly on the back of clasps or on applied discs. Here are the key details regarding Goldette signatures and plating: Signature Location: The "Goldette" or "Goldette N.Y." signature is typically found on a small applied plaque on the back of the piece or stamped directly onto the fold-over clasp. "Under" the Plating: Because the signature is often stamped or engraved on a component before it is heavily finished with the characteristic antique "Russian gold" plating, the mark can appear shallow, filled-in, or partially obscured. Signature Variations: Early pieces (starting around 1955-1958) are often marked "Goldette N.Y.". Later pieces from the 1960s may just say "Goldette"or feature a copyright symbol before the name. Not Always Signed: While many pieces are signed, some authentic Goldette items were left unsigned, and identification relies on their distinct Victorian Revival style and heavy plating. If the signature is hard to read, it is often due to the heavy, thick nature of the gold-tone plating applied to the base metal.
