<p>[QUOTE="spartcom5, post: 9471310, member: 5213"]Found this beautiful bracelet for $4.00 and really want to wear it. However I noticed the clasp was failing and it basically fell apart as pictured. I took it to two jewelers, both said they could use gold solder to put it back together for $50 but no gurantees to how long it will last. The other option was to recreate the clasp but it will cost $250... Do you all think the gold solder would be a good option? </p><p><br /></p><p>The bracelet also looks to be from the 1960s? Or 1970s? Also being a guy does this look too feminine at all, as I would be fixing it to wear it?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]443262[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]443263[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]443264[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]443265[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]443266[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
