Antique 14K Gold Hinged Slide Bangle Bracelet, MB Signed, 17.8g
This exquisite antique hinged slide bangle bracelet, crafted in solid 14K yellow gold and signed “MB,” beautifully captures the elegance and craftsmanship of early-to-mid 20th-century jewelry. Its exterior is adorned with delicately engraved floral and leaf motifs, providing a textured, tactile charm, while the interior offers a smooth, polished finish for comfortable wear. The bracelet features a classic hinged construction with a secure button clasp, a design highly prized for its blend of function and style.
Historically, hinged bangles like this were cherished as heirloom gifts, often exchanged on significant occasions such as anniversaries or milestones, symbolizing enduring affection and refined taste. The “MB” maker’s mark, though not definitively identified here, points to a skilled artisan or workshop known for producing fine gold jewelry during this era — a testament to the enduring quality of craftsmanship that has allowed this piece to retain both beauty and integrity over time.
With an inner circumference of 6.5 inches (16.51 cm) and an overall weight of 17.8 grams, this bracelet provides a pleasing, substantial feel on the wrist without sacrificing comfort. Its secure hinged clasp ensures reliable wear, making it suitable for both special events and elegant daily use. Whether worn alone as a statement or stacked with other antique or modern bangles, this piece offers timeless versatility and graceful sophistication.
Condition
Good antique condition. Light surface scratches consistent with age and gentle wear; no significant dents or structural issues observed. The engraved detailing remains sharp, and the clasp mechanism functions securely. Gold maintains a warm natural luster; it can be professionally polished if desired, though the current patina adds to its antique charm.
