ESTIMATED AGE OR ERA
= True original authentic antique.  I am not an expert in Asian antiquities what-so-ever ...... I just have a nasty gift of being able to pick out something special when I see it.  I am only guessing this to be circa the late part of the 1800's to very early 1900's based on construction, motif, and craftsmanship.  Broadly Qing
Dynasty
METAL AND/OR MATERIAL
=  Glass or stone bangle bracelet and sterling silver metal work
CLOSURE/CLASP
= N/A - slide on to wear
MARKS
= None that I could find
MEASUREMENTS
= With bracelet laying flat - inside diameter is about 2 1/2" across.  The outside to outside measures aprox 3" - not including any metalwork (making the walls 1/4" thick).  The bangle is 3/8" tall or high
US RING SIZE
= N/A
WEIGHT
= 41.3 grams on my scale
CONDITION
= Fantastic
condition for the age - no damage or quirks found to mention
View & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina, and/or wear.  Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged.  I will do my best to note anything glaring or distracting.  Please utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all.  Pictures normally speak louder than words and individuals also interpret characteristics differently.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS
, PLEASE READ:  I reserve the right to cancel a transaction and refund your funds in full if shipments to your destination are not insurable and/or trackable.  The shipping price I charge just covers the fees to ship your package out on my end.  You most likely will have additional charges, customs fees, duties, taxes, etc from the delivery office in your region.  It is your responsibility to check on these costs beforehand if it is of concern to you.  I have no knowledge, control of, nor responsibility for paying those at all.  Be advised that you may experience delivery/customs delays, package searches, or misc red tape issues that are entirely out of my jurisdiction.  I pay additional insurance and fees on the postage funds I receive that will not be reflected/listed on your shipping tags.  I ship via international priority mail to protect us both - please don't ask for a less expensive rate, as I won't ship any other way.  I will not falsify, under value, or list contents as a gift on customs forms as that is both illegal and interferes with the proper insurance amount.  What I can and will do is include any other purchases made at the same time with no additional added shipping cost to you -
just pay a single fee and the rest ship for free
.  Makes it all seem a bit better if you can find a few things that make you smile and just have pay one flat rate to get them from me to you :)
NO WORRIES -
SMILE AND SHOP AWAY!
