The quest for these beauties began in the 1960s when my mom gave me my first bangle. With a mother and (at the time) 3 sisters who loved them, we amassed quite a collection of almost 400. We swapped back and forth and sold a few but those that I have now, are in permanent residence.

I wouldn't give them up either. The one on the far upper right is amazing with elaborate attractive detail.
Thank you . The upper right is a European bangle (the gold is much richer in European gold-filled, more yellow and I love it). It was a gift from my mother and has Bohemian garnets in it.
Wow I missed those garnets that makes it even more lovely.
Thank you so much. The garnets are small but lovely on this bangle.
And I know beautiful taste you have too Vianvi. Thank you so much.
incredible!
Thanks Carolyn. The one on the left with clear stones and the one with the raspberry pink stone, I found those at Jane Clark's B&M shop. Just got to love to visit Jane.
Fabulous collection, Molly!
