Antique Victorian Art Nouveau Etruscan Bypass Hinged Bracelet Pat Dec 16 1879

A charming little bracelet for a dainty wrist. This form is described as "gold filled", which is apparently a form of gold plating. The paint on the clasps is a bit worn, but the hinge works and they open readily to admit the wrist. The center decoration is unmarred.

When closed, the width is 2 1/4 inches (5.7 cm). When opened, it is about 3 inches (7.6 cm).
