Title Help on Charm Bracelet

As usual, i am thinking of WAY too many words than the title space on ebay allows.

And btw, it is high time that i buy some really good jewelry references because i really have been bugging everyone with jewel questions...this is from that same collection i have been selling for eons...mostly 60s. i am guessing 50s/60s?
It seems a lot more delicate in design than a lot of the heavier chunkier 60s examples i have come acrossed, so am leaning towards slightly older, but then again it could just be earlier 60s... My mother had a charm bracelet with almost identical bracelet part i imagined was 60s based on how long she had it..


Vintage Goldtone Flowers and Acorns Foliage Charm Bracket?

boring? I dunno, those drop pearls looked like acorns to me.

Vintage Faux Drop Pearl and Flowers Goldtone Charm Bracelet?

or does anyone else have a brighter idea?

I almost lotted it with other pieces in the spring, but with the success people have been having with charm bracelets, i thought to myself WHAT WAS I THINKING???

there are two faux pearls missing, but could easily be replaced it looks based on the way they are set, but not noticeable when it is clanking around your wrist.

 

I like this one! Charm bracelets are definitely making a little comeback - I just saw a feature about them in a magazine - maybe it was In Style or Shop? I can't remember...

Thing is, it's a hard sell with the missing "pearls", people are hung up on perfection. I think Marie was mentioning she bought a huge lot from a jeweler of odds and ends from broken costume jewelry - maybe she has a couple of little pearls that you could just set right in there to make it "perfect"?

 

maybe i should lot it with other flower jewelry as planned or just $9.99 it. the funny thing is that my jewelry with a stone missing has sold much higher than perfect things. i don't know why. maybe crafters see the potential or people think that by replacing the jewel it could sell for way higher than even they bought it for. no clue here. maybe they think its better than someone trying to mickey mouse it.

I would have to send it out somewhere to have it done because i haven't found anyone around here that will touch it if its not solid gold/sterling silver, etc...

so that not being an option...i think the lot idea might work out better

 

Its not the drop pearls...its the one in the flower center thats missing...i have a lot ready to go so i might just pop it in there...
