[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 564050, member: 2844"]Lovely bangle, Bsan. I suspect it is early 1920s ivorine, which is not proper ivory but celluloid made to look like ivory. It was very fashionable at the time. Ivorine means it is safe to sell, should you ever want to. Ivory is not. The inlay is likely to be glass, gemstones would be set in a different way. And gemstones would not be set in celluloid. The decoration is gold paint, which could have some gold in it. I have two early 1920s ivorine bangles with glass inlay and gold paint, I'll see if I can post a picture.[/QUOTE]
