Sterling Mid-Century Napier Bracelet

Description

Please read the fine print below the item description as this is part of the buyer/seller agreement.
This piece is a true example of fine silversmithing from the long lived jewelry company Napier. The bracelet is circa 1950s to 60s and is extremely well crafted and in amazing condition for its age. It features “S” shaped segments of thick silver wire surrounded by thick smooth braided silver, with bar links in-between each segment. The bracelet weighs 58.7 grams of sterling (almost 2 ounces!) and still retains its original safety chain. It measures approximately 7.75” in length, so will layer nicely with other bracelets or fit a slightly larger wrist and is approximately 1” wide. The segments are smooth and do not kink.
Condition: Excellent vintage/antique condition. No known issues. Normal surface wear and oxidation to precious metal that includes scratches or other marks visible on magnification, or close up. Still retains its lovely deep oxidation and only requires a soft polishing cloth to clean any dullness from previous wear or storage.
The Fine Print
Welcome to my shop! I’ve been a dealer and collector of fine vintage sterling silver jewelry for over 40 years. Most of the pieces listed this year have been off-market for over 5 years. I am just now finding time to do detailed listings after a long hiatus from selling on eBay.
Please review all photos and descriptions of condition. Photos are part of the description. All measurements are approximate and done to the best of my ability. Ring size is measured on a standard mandrel. Weights are provided in grams and measured on a postal scale that is calibrated.
I do not accept returns, but will do my best with you to ensure you receive communication from me. Ebay is filled with buyers who only want to flip items. I sell for design, quality and beauty, not for scrap metal value.
I provide free flat rate priority and insured shipping, so my prices will reflect a modest offset.
These items are all vintage, antique (older than 50 years), or from a secondary contemporary marketplace. As such, there will be scuffs, scratches on stones and metal, visible use, sometimes slightly bent ring bands or clasps or rings that need attention. I will do my best to photograph these or point out any issues.
I leave the patina on pieces, especially with oxidation. If you would prefer something to be shinier and polished before it is mailed, please contact me and I will use an industry recommended product to hand polish, although it may leave a slight odor that can easily be removed by you with rinsing in water with gentle detergents.
This is a smoke-free household but we do have cats, so if a stray hair makes its way into your package, I cannot take responsibility for your allergic reaction. But I promise, the cats are not allowed to wear the jewelry on party night.
