Its sleek, architectural styling is wonderfully characteristic of the tailored elegance of 1950s jewellery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHinged at the side, the bangle fastens with a discreet push-button clasp, closing securely with a satisfying click. The original gold safety chain remains intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf particular interest is the construction, stamped \"9CT GOLD\" and \"METAL CORE\". This traditional British manufacturing technique bonded a substantial outer layer of solid 9ct gold over a strong structural metal core, creating a durable, weighty piece without the expense of making the entire bangle from solid gold. Favoured by quality jewellery manufacturers, this construction offered excellent strength and resistance to the dents and distortion associated with hollow gold bangles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeighing an impressive 19.5 grams, it has a wonderfully substantial feel on the wrist, while retaining the warmth and beauty of genuine 9ct gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncreasingly difficult to find in such lovely condition, this is a beautifully engineered and timeless piece of British vintage jewellery, offering the beauty and appeal of 9ct gold with the added benefit of a robust, cost-effective construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS\u003cbr\u003e\nMAKER: Payton, Pepper \u0026amp; Sons Ltd, Birmingham, England\u003cbr\u003e\nERA: Mid-century, circa 1950s\u003cbr\u003e\nMETAL: 9ct yellow gold with metal core\u003cbr\u003e\nHALLMARKS: P.P.LD, 9ct GOLD, METAL CORE and model number 15\u003cbr\u003e\nWIDTH: Approximately 7mm\u003cbr\u003e\nINNER CIRCUMFERENCE: 18cm (7 inches)\u003cbr\u003e\nWEIGHT: 19.5 grams\u003cbr\u003e\nCONDITION: Excellent vintage condition with minimal signs of wear.
