A tiny area has been scraped and it looks like copper.&nbsp; The two ends of the bangle have been neatly and discretely soldered. Any idea what the maker would have filled it with to enable the shape to have been formed?</p><p><br /></p><p>I wouldn&#039;t have said it has any great aesthetic appeal, so perhaps it was an &#039;early days&#039; apprentice who made it.&nbsp; Possibly from Africa as being the area France was associated with mostly.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for your explanations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
