Finally today a wonderful arts and crafts bracelet which I belief is Bernard Instone. If you keep a look out you can still fine a bargain, this bracelet I believe is that. The silver workmenship is amazing, the back to me is has good has the front, a work of art all handmade. I have seen Bernard Instone used smokey quartz, I didn’t realise how well the colour goes with silver, very pretty. I think this bracelet would have been made around the 1930s. For people who want to know about Bernard Instone I’ll put a link in the comments below.
Many thanks for looking
It is a stunner Jean. Beautiful work.

Oh boy!!! Right up my street.
So lovely, please remember to give basic information for those of us who don't know about Bernaard Instone. My questions are - timeframe? Is this from the Arts and Crafts era or made in that style?
Pretty. Would like to see it against a plain background?

Hiya silvermachine, the structure at the back is like scaffolding, I’m always in awe at the neatness of his work at the back, just perfect. Thank you for your comment.
Beautiful work, thank you Jean. :)
That was a super good buy Jean. Sometimes you get lucky! I think it's been dipped though, so give Kyra's egg trick a go!
Thanks for the link!

Hi Jewels1900, sometimes you just get lucky, this was certainly the case with this bracelet. I will try the egg trick. Has always thanks for the comment.
Hi recently found out I am Iberian through DNA, somewhere between Spain and Portugal...do you have any insight on that area?
Hi mrcolorz, did you do the DNA test on ancestry, if so you can download an app called AncestryDNA, hopefully It will give you some information on that area.
Hi no did it on my heritage...Guess I can upgrade get family tree, was adopted...other 37 percentage Scandanavian. Thank you for your input.
If you download the app you might find it informative. My pedigree is mainly the British Isles, I have no Iberian blood at all.
Cool...I was a bartender at Cooper Island 1984...
Wow this is beautiful!
Awww, thank you Elizabethan.
Many thanks
