Vtg New Orleans Souvenir Charm Bracelet small 6.25" Gold-Tone w/ Enamel - USED

Description

View Vtg New Orleans Souvenir Charm Bracelet small 6.25" Gold-Tone w/ Enamel - USED with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. In or around New Orleans - a paddlewheel steamboat, a pelican, a horse-drawn. This bracelet is on the shorter size (especially when compared to. The final three photos. There is no noticeable loss to the gold finish of the chain bracelet or. ). Due to improvements within  the US Postal System,  shipping times have occasionally been longer than those estimated by either eBay or the USPS tracking tool. This is a vintage gold-toned souvenir charm bracelet that has  five dangling New Orleans themed charms and a fold-over clasp.  This bracelet is on the shorter size (especially when compared to many modern chain bracelets for sale currently in stores), measuring  about 6.25" long when clasped ... as can be seen in photo #4 and #5. The charms are 3-dimensional (except for perhaps the shield shaped charm which is more of a low-relief stamping) and depict iconic items found  in or around New Orleans - a paddlewheel steamboat, a pelican, a horse-drawn carriage, and a streetcar, plus the shield with "New Orleans" in raised letters. The figural charms (not the shield), have accents of cold enamel on one side of each of them ... the other side is left unenameled/painted. Cold enamel is basically enamel like paint commonly used on costume jewelry in the 20th century.  This enamel/paint shows signs of wear, most noticeable on the  streetcar and the pelican charms.  Please look at the close up photos of each of the charms to see the extent of this wear. The fold-over clasp opens and closes securely.  The bracelet measures about 6.25" long clasped, which is considered a small or short  bracelet length and requires the wearer to have a small wrist.  The final three photos show a wrist which is just over 6" around and how the bracelet hangs from this wrist. I would not suggest purchasing this bracelet if the wearer has a wrist that is more than 6" around (with a measuring tape NOT wrapped tightly). There is no noticeable loss to the gold finish of the chain bracelet or the charms, but there is minor surface scuffing - likely as much from wearing the bracelet as from contact with other pieces of jewelry in the jewelry box where it  was kept.  There is loss to the color accenting the charms. This will be shipped inside a small gift box. ~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~  Please visit my other auctions/listings as I hope to be listing more great items while I continue to go through years of inherited and accumulated treasures.  I try to describe and photograph items as thoroughly as possible but should you have any questions please ask before bidding or buying.  Any coins, rulers, or scales that may be visible in the photos are not included in the listing and are shown for reference only.  Please note that computer monitors and phones do not represent colors equally, so the actual  colors of the items may vary slightly from what appears on your screen.  Items will be packed in clean recycled materials whenever possible.  It is my policy not to offer partial refunds, but I do allow for returns if you find yourself unhappy with your purchase.
