Weighing a substantial 63.4 grams, the bracelet features a beautifully hammered finish, contrasted with smooth, polished gold borders. A cleverly designed opening mechanism at the back makes it easy to put on and take off. Exceptionally well made, this bold yet understated piece has a wonderful presence on the wrist and is equally suited to everyday wear.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eA note on Andrew Clunn, by Ruth Peltason, author of David Webb, The Quintessential American Jeweler, Assouline, 2013:\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBefore he began working at David Webb in 1963, Andrew Clunn told me that his \"idea of jewelry in those days was Marilyn Monroe in diamonds.\" He had come to meet the jeweler with a letter of introduction, who took a liking to him and invited him for dinner at his apartment on East 61st Street. From that point in 1963 until David Webb's death in December 1975, Andrew worked at the boutique on 57th Street where as one of the head salesmen he had a front-row seat to the clients and the commissions. Most importantly, he grew close to David Webb. Looking back on those years, Andrew said, \"David was a wonderful teacher. He taught me everything I know. He used to say to me, 'Mr. IBM—you remember everything.'\" That \"everything\" included working with gold, with Mabé pearls, with cabochon stones, enamel, and above all, working with scale. As he recalled of Webb, \"He always gave you something worth looking at.\" By the time Andrew Clunn Ltd opened in 1980, the student was now master of his own designs. The Webb influence abounds in the Clunn pieces: the big stones, the hammered gold, the sense that this was jewelry not simply to wear but to be seen wearing. Here, too, there is the overall look of the period celebrating bold jewelry—it shows up in pieces by Henry Dunay, Seaman Schepps, even Tiffany at that time. David Webb lifted American jewelry, and Andrew Clunn happily carried on that message.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eUsed (Very Good)\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight: \u003c\/strong\u003e63.4 grams\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInside Circumference:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx 16cm\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInside Diameter: \u003c\/strong\u003e54mm x 44mm\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color: rgb(30, 32, 34);\"\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(30, 32, 34);\"\u003e 24.5mm - 13.5mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTested As: \u003c\/strong\u003e18ct Gold\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarked: \u003c\/strong\u003eA Clunn 18k\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBox: \u003c\/strong\u003ePlain Gift Box\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Vintage Jeweller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56982344434050,"sku":"GG260023","price":9850.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/6140\/3354\/files\/IMG_0047_4312403.jpg?v=1792098685","url":"https:\/\/www.thevintagejeweller.co.uk\/products\/andrew-clunn-hammered-gold-bangle","provider":"The Vintage Jeweller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
