Featured Viennese bangle

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!

 

good clear photos........ interesting bangle !!

thank you !

 

that jewellers punch was certainly well used by the time he struck this piece ,,

J F ..?

 

Gorgeous bangle, Abbie.

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.

 

Thankyou I'm just glad I posted correctly,

 

Lord knows. I've gone down the Russian route on the off chance...I don't know. Can't read it heads or tails

 

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

 

Thank you That's really lovely of you to go to that trouble. Hmm. Hopefully I can find something interesting or helpful to post. What do you show experts?

 

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

 

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

 

something you love..
with history..
unique
or mystery...

 

Tiny bangles haven't got the best of me yet!!! I'll find a way to wear it........someday

 

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

 

Ditto! For both parts of your comment!

 

It would fit me also, my wrists are the only delicate things on me

 

I wonder do they make extensions, like for seatbelts?

 

NanaB, that would be an excellent invention!
Abbie, you can just send the bracelet to me, if its too small for you.
Joking aside, I agree with AJ, it was just made for smaller wrists.
Personally I really hate it when almost all bracelets I find could easily just slip right off my wrist.

I actually don't have dainty hands, I have an average glove size, it's just the wrists. I used to have very flexible hands though and could slide into small bangles, but they're slightly less flexible as I get older.

You could look for Dutch and Scandi bracelets, they are usually made for bigger wrists.

In those cases I either wear a smaller bangle next to it, on the side of my wrist. Or I keep the big one in place with a link bracelet.

We both live in countries where most women have bigger wrists and fingers, so we have to hunt for small sizes. I have the same problem with shoes, although less so as I get older.
