Victorian tortoiseshell watch band w/rose gold clasps
This is an incredibly unique and beautiful piece of tortoiseshell that came from the Fiji Islands. Mostly used for decorative objects including jewelry and vanity items in the mid-Victorian period, these are now highly coveted and typically available only privately.This watchband is flexible and can open as wide as necessary to accommodate the watch body. The only requirement is the watch needs an open "hook" flap for the gold clasps to catch on. The length of the watch determines the wrist size. The rose gold is a low caret gold 9k-10k and is quite striking with the tortoiseshell colors and markings. The original box is available with this band. There is another band available, aa00013 that has sterling clasps.The band measures 5 1/2" in the closed position and can stretch as big as needed to accommodate any size watch length. It is 3/8" wide. It is in excellent vintage condition . vintagejewelryonline.com
