CHICAGO, in an associated Mappin & Webb Ltd bracelet boxSize/dimensions: 17.2cm longGross weight: 21.6 gramsSpaulding & Co was established in Chicago in 1888 by Henry Abriam Spalding. Henry had been Tiffany & Co's general representative in Europe during the 1870s and 1880s, responsible for introducing Tiffany & Co to Royalty and European nobility, and obtaining appointments for Tiffany to numerous royal households. In the late 1880s Henry decided to move back to Chicago, and where he wanted Tiffany & co to open a boutique. When Tiffany rejected the idea, Henry opened his own jewellery boutique in Chicago, with a showroom beneath the American Consulate in Paris. Spaulding & Co soon became acknowledged as Chicago's rival to New York's Tiffany & Co, and was renowned for the style and quality of its jewellery品相报告: The diamonds are all present and correct, bright and lively, colour mostly G-I, clarity varying VS-I. The setting has some solder repairs, most are only visible to the reverse, but the two solder repairs right by the clasp have soldered together the two links that would have once been articulated. one of the links has been lightly abraded to one end near a repair between the links, not very obvious, The setting is in our opinion platinum, but it is unmarked. The clasp is in good working order.
