Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A stunning electrum bracelet cuff with triangular and planished tips before the opening gap, the thick wire is made from a 52% gold (equivalent to 12K+) and silver 34%, with granulation around the bezel. The recessed bezel lip may have once contained a precious stone or glass inlay, and the other terminal has a faint line where a bezel or granulated decoration could have been applied.

Loss to inlay and applied granulation on terminal tips as shown. Age commensurate surface wear and some minor areas of dark toning, but overall excellent. Note the size - we do not recommend bending the terminal ends in order to wear this bracelet.
