Ugh I looooove this bracelet.
The colour, the texture, the profile and that big old bolt clasp. It's ticks all my boxes and then some.
Now then, I know that the main body of the piece was made in Italy but as it stands, without me telling you, you'd not know. Why? Well because it was stamped on the clasp for UnoAerre, a big Italian brand but I removed all trace of that when I took off the original, boring, basic bolt clasp and replaced it with this amazing oversized antique floating bolt.
I'm particularly fussy when it comes to clasps. I can cope with a small modern bolt ring on a fine, dainty bracelet or chain but when it comes to a piece with substance then the clasp has to have substance imo or it just looks a bit sad.
The lever on the clasp is quite tight, you'll really need to pull it back and then push into place to open and close it. I've added a video on instagram to highlight this.

All of my pieces are at the very least pre-loved and most of them are vintage or antique. This item is not brand new and as such, will not look brand new. Please expect signs of wear to include kinks in links, surface wear to gold, scuffs to stones and accept this as part and parcel of buying second hand jewellery. I will be as clear as I can with item descriptions and condition statement and aim to make sure you are aware of any potential defects before you buy.
