|
An empire built on footwear, Charles Jourdan designed luxury leather goods since the 1920s. By the late 1970s, the company had expanded to include accessories - creating a total 'Jourdan' designer look. This bangle and earrings set is fashioned in a matte silver electroplate over brass, inset with black leather. The bangle is asymmetrical, tapering from 3/4" at the wide end to 1/2" at the narrow end. Slightly elliptical in shape, it measures 2 7/8" across and 2 1/2" back to front. The matching earrings are a twisted feather drop style on a wire and measure about 2 3/4" long from top of the wire to tip, and 5/8" wide. Hallmarked 'Charles Jourdan, Made in Italy', the bangle shows wear of the electroplate on the interior, and is tweaked slightly out of 'round'; both pieces are scratched and the leather of both pieces is intact and in excellent condition. All told, we'd say the condition is very good. $95
