Antique Wexel Sterling Wedding Band Ring - Wedding Bells - Flowers - Size 7

Antique Wexel Sterling Wedding Band Ring - Wedding Bells - Flowers - Size 7

An antique Edwardian H. Wexel sterling silver wedding band ring.  Wedding bells and flowers go all the way around the ring. Very pretty.  Marked "STERLING" and also marked with the Indian Chief Head  hallmark of H. Wexel & Co.. NOT a heavy band at all. The ring is  a size 7. I do not recommend trying to re-size this ring, as it will  disrupt the pattern's flow. This ring dates to around 1900.  H. Wexel & Co. was in business from the 1880s to 1907. I have sold  some Uncas wedding bands from the 1930s with a very similar pattern.  So the Wexel band pre-dates them.

Vintage Early Plastic Bead Necklace - 18 In. - Yellow - Knotted - Sterling Silver Flower Clasp

Vintage Early Plastic Bead Necklace - 18 In. - Yellow - Knotted - Sterling Silver Flower Clasp

This is a vintage yellow early plastic bead necklace. The beads are knotted in between and are graduated in size. Early plastics are not my area of expertise. I am not sure what type of plastic this is. The beads look like they are molded and not carved. I can see seams on some of the beads. Some of the beads look worn and I can see what looks like age cracks in some of the beads. They have a shimmer to them and a marbled look. Judging from the string used and the sterling silver flower clasp, I would say these date to the 1930s or 1940s. Possibly a very early form of moonglow beads. Please look at all photos and make your decision accordingly. Selling as is.

Length:  18"

Weight:  27.4 grams

Condition:

---There is wear to the beads.
