Vintage 9ct Gold Ruby Bangle Dated Chester 1960

1940 - 1960
Description

This beautiful vintage 9ct yellow gold bangle by Smith & Pepper dates to 1960 and is a wonderful example of classic mid-century British jewellery.

The front of the bangle has an elegant engraved finish, decorated with a series of rich red rubies. Each ruby is claw-set within a delicate starburst setting, creating an attractive celestial effect across the gold. Engraved detailing surrounding the stones adds texture and catches the light beautifully.

The reverse is left plain and highly polished, providing a lovely contrast to the decorative front and allowing the bangle to sit smoothly and comfortably on the wrist.

The bangle is secured with a snap-in fastener and safety chain for added security.

Fully hallmarked for Chester 1960, it also bears the maker's mark S&P for Smith & Pepper, the renowned Birmingham jewellery manufacturer.

It has been carefully cleaned and polished and is in excellent condition, ready to be worn and cherished once again.

FAQs

Mid-century British gold bangles from the 1950s and 1960s frequently feature wide hinged profiles, hand-engraved or textured metal finishes, and flush starburst-set gemstones, reflecting a blend of traditional gold craftsmanship and modernist geometric motifs.

These pieces are typically constructed from hallmarked 9ct or 18ct yellow gold, featuring a hollow core for comfortable weight, a push-in tongue clasp with a safety catch, and star-set or gypsy-set natural or synthetic rubies.

Authentic British gold bangles display full hallmark stampings inside the band, including a purity mark (such as 375 for 9ct gold), an assay office mark (such as Chester, London, or Birmingham), a date letter, and a makers mark.

A wide engraved gold bangle serves as a focal wristpiece when worn alone against tailored cuffs or short sleeves, or layered alongside slim gold chains for a textured wrist stack.

Clean gold bangles gently using warm water, mild soap, and a soft-bristled brush, avoiding abrasive polishers or ultrasonic cleaners on star-set gemstones to preserve the engraving and stone settings.
