VINTAGE YELLOW GOLD OVER STERLING SILVER GARNET LINK STYLE BRACELET 70 STONES

Description

VINTAGE YELLOW GOLD OVER STERLING SILVER GARNET LINK STYLE BRACELET 70 STONES
This is a vintage, delicate, fine quality garnet bracelet of a link style, the links consisting of clusters of round faceted semi-precious garnet stones.
The garnets are about 2 mm each in diameter and there are seventy (70) of them in the bracelet.
I believe the metal in the bracelet is sterling silver with gold plating (vermeil). The bracelet in my photos is the actually one you are buying.
Please be sure to read the ‘Age & Condition” paragraphs below.
I purchased this in 1998.
As is the case with all of my fine jewelry, the earrings have been well cared for since then in my smoke and pet free home.
I want to be clear that I am not an expert on jewelry.
I have purchased many pieces of high-quality fine jewelry like this bracelet over the years for my personal use and am in the process of selling off some of the pieces that I don’t often wear anymore.
I have not had the bracelet tested or examined by a jeweler and I am stating what I honestly believe to be true about this bracelet based on information I received from the seller at the time I bought them.
I always tried to buy from what I believed to be reputable sources and have enjoyed these pieces immensely over the years.
I find no identifying markings on the bracelet itself, but the clasp is marked “925” for sterling silver.
This is a high-quality stunning piece of fine jewelry!
I do my best to describe all items as accurately as possible and to the best of my ability.
Some of my photos may be somewhat lighter or darker than actual to better show detail or color.
However, do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, comments, or with requests for additional pictures.
I will get back to you as soon as I am able.
I want your transaction with me to be exactly the way I want mine to be when I am the buyer.

Age and Condition
I bought this in 1998 from an “estate jeweler” but am uncertain of the actual age of the bracelet.
Probably no older than the 1970s, but I am no expert.
It is in pristine original condition.
Please look closely at the photos as they are an important part of my description of this item.
I inspected this with a jeweler’s loupe and I see nothing to mention in the way of flaws and I see no visible signs of use and no missing stones.
There may be a tiny bit of tarnish to the metal, but it is beautiful and ready to wear.
Please keep in mind these photos may be blown up at least 8-10 times normal, so anything you see will look 8-10 times larger in the photos than it really is.
Please note: if you see a dark spot in the photos, it is from my camera and is not a mark on the piece.
It will be either just to the right of center towards the bottom or slightly above center on the right side of the photo.
Approximate Dimensions
The bracelet (not including the clasps) is about 6.625” (16.8 cm) long.
At its widest point the bracelet is about .25” (0.6 cm) wide.
It is about .125” (0.3 cm) at the thickest point.
My wrist is about 6.25” (15.7 cm) around and the bracelet fits me fine and is not snug; I can still get a finger between the bracelet and my wrist.
Approximate Weight
About .25 ounce (9 grams).
SALES TAX
Depending on which state you live in eBay may add State Sales Tax on your purchase.
