[QUOTE="Brian Warshaw, post: 4477772, member: 16674"]My daughter picked up the bangle at a puce for €0.50, and the stallholder gifted her the neckpiece. How one fits the neckpiece is mystery unless one twists it, and then it wouldn't last long. The material looks to be brass strip that has then been rolled into shape both longitudinally and latitudinally, and it is filled, probably with sand to prevent it collapsing during bending. As well as the bend marks at regular distance between them, the finish is lumpy and bumpy so the material has been well beaten. Your knowledge and opinions, please. [ATTACH=full]388409[/ATTACH] Neckpiece: outside diameter 13cm; inner diameter 11.7cm. Thickness tapers from 1.2cm to 0.4cm at the ends. Weight 46gr: [ATTACH=full]388410[/ATTACH] Neckpiece end - appears to be spun at the end to seal it [ATTACH=full]388414[/ATTACH] Material finish: [ATTACH=full]388415[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]388416[/ATTACH] Bangle: Outside diameter 7.7cm; inner diameter 6.5cm. Thickness 0.7cm. Weight 26gr: [ATTACH=full]388413[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]388412[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]388411[/ATTACH] Thank you.[/QUOTE]
