*Description: This is a mid-century bracelet made by Wells Sterling with green gemstones of Chrysoprase. Wells, Inc. was in business in Attleboro, MA from 1922 to 1978. Each of the bamboo & Asian symbol links are signed Wells Ster. Some near the clasp have worn off. The links in between are gold plated and hold the gemstones. I tested the gemstones and they fall into the Chrysoprase, Nephrite, and Emerald area of the Presidium Gem Tester. The spring ring and safety chain are more gold in tone than the rest of the bracelet. I have reviewed others with the same bracelet and they all have this characteristic. I do not know the meaning of the Asian symbol but it is in every other link. This would be a great addition to your vintage jewelry collection or make a great vintage gift!
*Approximate Measurements: Length - 7 1/2 Inches, Width - 3/8 Inch *Condition: Good vintage condition. Will see signs of wear under magnification. See photos for details. *Hallmark: WELLS STER *Item E3250
I love these beads, the subtle colours and the delicate pattern. I didn't realize they had some kind of coating over the porcelain, but they are still beautiful. Thank you.
These beautiful earrings were a replacement for a pair I lost while traveling. I was anguished, as they were deeply meaningful. Thanks so much to Fran, a former employee at Laurel Burch, for sending me the Etsy link…and thanks to Etsy for having them. The quality of all the items I have found at Etsy has always been superb.
I am beyond excited to gift this to a wonderful friend with pictures of her two favorite kiddos inside. The clasp works great; the quality and color are stunning. Thank you.
My beautiful Hobe bracelet arrived very quickly, was beautifully packaged and exceeded my expectations. The description and pictures were helpful in making my decision.
