Art Deco Black Celluloid Bracelet Bangle with Leaves Design

About the Item

This is a lovely 1920s French Art Deco celluloid bracelet bangle. It features a light hollow tube shape with a leaf and flower 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 came as a flat sheet, then cut by hand and painted, stained, or sprayed with paint. Then, each celluloid piece was heated around a wooden stick to form a tube. When the hollow tube was cool enough, it was reheated, rounded, 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 has an intricate design in rust, orange, yellow, silver-gray, and blue over a black background. It is striking and unique. Measurements: Inside across is 2.82 in diameter (7.2 cm) - outside across is 3.44 in diameter (8.8 cm) - width is 0.38 in wide (0.9 cm) - inner circumference is 8.66 in long (22.6 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.
