Description
- TONY DUQUETTE
- gold, amber
Composed of alternating gold and amber links of curved form, gross weight approximately 165 dwts, internal circumference 6¼ inches, signed Tony Duquette.
Condition
In good condition. Minor scratching found throughout the gold and amber commensurate with wear and a higher concentration on the inside of the clasp from the metal-on-metal, not noticeable when worn. Slight discoloration to the gold in some locations, not noticeable when worn. The bracelet retains some rigidity, not opening all the way so as to lie flat but enough that a significant gap for putting over a wrist is presented. The amber is in good condition and exhibits stylistic inclusions which do not affect the stability of the piece. Depth ranges from approximately 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch.
