Vintage 9ct Gold Faceted Bangle by Smith & Pepper

718X
40 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A neat 9ct gold bangle that was assayed in 1980 and was made by the well known firm of Smith & Pepper (1899-1981) Mr Smith and his uncle Mr Pepper became business partners. The business was set up in Birmingham in an area known as the Jewellery quarter in adjoining buildings 78 and 79 Vyse Street. The company became known around the world. The firm made a wide range of jewellery, notably swallow designs, popular during the Wars wars and Egyptian style snake designs, after Egyptologist Howard Carter made ancient Egypt fashionable. It finally stopped trading in 1981. For its 82 year history the firm was run as a family business. The premises in Vyse Stree are now a museum.

This bangle is typical of their work and is a faceted design that catches the light when worn. It has a hidden tongue hinge and a safety chain for added security.
