French Art Deco Celluloid Bracelet Bangle with Purple and Red Design

About the Item

This is a stunning 1920s French Art Deco celluloid bracelet bangle. It features a light hollow tube shape with a floral, geometric design around the bracelet. The hollow bracelet technique is an ancient technique applied to jewelry at the turn of the 20th Century. The celluloid material was used as a flat sheet, then cut by hand and painted, stained, or sprayed with paint. Each small material piece was then heated around a wooden stick to form a tube. When the hollow tube was cool enough, it was re-heated round and sealed to close it and shape the bracelet. Thus, looking closely at the bracelet, you can see the seam on the inner edge and the seal on the circumference. This bracelet is striking and unique. Its intricate design features purple and red colors over a transparent custard background. The bracelet is in good condition. The sealed joint inside is slightly visible because the background is transparent. Measurements: Inside across is 2.88 in diameter (7.3 cm) - outside across is 3.57 in diameter (9 cm) - width is 0.32 in wide (0.8 cm) - inner circumference is 8.66 in long (22.9 cm). It will best fit a Large wrist, from 7 to 8.69 in circumference (18 to 22 cm). Note you can wear this bracelet on the top of the forearm or the upper arm if your wrist is smaller. Flapper girls wore it like that in the Art Deco era. Please double-check the measurements and ask any questions before making your purchase. This item is a final sale, and we will not accept returns for an unfit size.
