    Hello all, hope everyone is well.
    I'd love to wear this but it's tiny just touching 6cm diameter. Wondering if this was a child's bangle made in Vienna/Austria but seems too mature a design? I love the design and would love to research more but I keep hitting dead ends. Been looking for an embarrassing amount of time and I'm lost. Any information would be greatly appreciated Thank U!

    Gorgeous bangle, Abbie.:happy:
    I think it was made for a smaller wrist. It would fit me perfectly, with a little room left.

    Austrian marks often have the initial of the surname first, so we are probably looking for someone named FJ, in the sequence we would write it.
    I looked on silvercollection.it and found a Franz Jonas who was active in the 1920s. I don't know if he is your maker, but the period looks right to me.

    I googled his name, but haven't found anything by him. I also tried it in German, but no luck, so I have no idea if he made anything like this.

    I'm very jealous, I'd love beautiful dainty hands. Sausage fingers and I can't open jars

    You & me both. Most bangles will never fit us.

    I could get it on. Whether I could get it closed is another matter.:banghead:

    Just blame the catch if it won't close, it's faulty
