CONDITION
= Great vintage condition - no damage to mention.  Just some normal wear and mars one would expect from age and use of a piece from this era.  The wear and variation in color tones adds to the vintage look and charm in this case, in my opinion.  Post-photography I did add an
additional well-matched vintage stock jump ring to the heart lock end of this bracelet as it was a bit difficult to get the clasp hardware in and out of the existing one.  If you don't care for it - you surely can remove it.
View & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina, and/or wear - as most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both.  Please utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS
, PLEASE READ:  I reserve the right to cancel a transaction and refund your funds in full if shipments to your destination are not insurable and/or trackable.  The shipping price I charge just covers the fees to ship your package out on my end.  You most likely will have additional charges, customs fees, duties, taxes, etc from the delivery office in your region.  It is your responsibility to check on these costs beforehand if it is of concern to you.  I have no knowledge, control of, nor responsibility for paying those at all.  Be advised that you may experience delivery/customs delays, package searches, or misc red tape issues that are entirely out of my jurisdiction.  I pay additional insurance and fees on the postage funds I receive that will not be reflected/listed on your shipping tags.  I ship via international priority mail to protect us both - please don't ask for a less expensive rate, as I won't ship any other way.  I will not falsify, under value, or list contents as a gift on customs forms as that is both illegal and interferes with the proper insurance amount.  What I can and will do is include any other purchases made at the same time with no additional added shipping cost to you -
just pay a single fee and the rest ship for free
.  Makes it all seem a bit better if you can find a few things that make you smile and just have pay one flat rate to get them from me to you :)
