Vintage Engraved Bangle Bracelet Appraisal

Vintage Engraved Bangle Bracelet

This appears to be a vintage bangle bracelet, crafted from a yellow-toned metal, likely gold or gold-plated, given its lustrous appearance. The bracelet is narrow and rigid, suggesting it does not open or close but rather slides over the hand. Its surface is extensively decorated with deeply engraved patterns that alternate between a series of crisscrossing lines forming diamond or star-like motifs and elongated, leaf-like or chevron designs. These engraved patterns are bright and reflective, contrasting with the slightly muted, textured background of the bracelet, which appears to have a subtle stippled or sandblasted finish. The patterns are consistent around the visible circumference, indicating a continuous design. The width of the bracelet seems to be approximately 5-7mm. Visible condition issues include some surface wear and minor discoloration, consistent with age and use, particularly along the edges and within the recessed areas of the engraving, where some darkening or patina is evident. There is also a small, distinct notch or irregularity visible on one edge of the bracelet in one of the close-up images, which could be a manufacturing flaw, a result of damage, or possibly a worn hallmark. No clear manufacturer's marks or signatures are discernible. The style of engraving and metal finish suggests an mid-20th century to late 20th-century aesthetic. Good craftsmanship is indicated by the precision of the engraving.
