This amazing styling has had numerous revivals and it is no surprise with the fabulous natural look of the piece, the repetitive stylised pattern and the way the light (and patina) catches the grooves. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis particular semi hollow bamboo silver bangle was made in Birmingham - back when hallmark years ran from 1st July to 30th June. This gorgeous piece was made between 1st July 1962 and 30th June 1963. Made with care and precision - this piece is hallmarked on both halves and features a hand made clasp and safety chain. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis piece has been pre-loved - it is slightly out of shape - likely there became a slightly flat base on it from years of wear. It still functions perfectly, and i found the \"base\" quite functional when i sat typing in it - it rested nicely. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eParticulars: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSize internal 59 x 53mm - hinged to get over the hand \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWeight 17.96g \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWidth 12mm x 5.25mm (at the widest) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHallmarks  fully hallmarked for Sterling Silver 1962-1963 Birmingham and a maker's mark \"C.P.S\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCondition - slightly out of shape- an almost flat base section - opens and closes well.
