The head is mounted to a substantial 9ct yellow gold Milanese mesh strap with a textured finish, terminating in a box clasp with dual safety figure-eight catches. Maker: Attributed to British manufacture (Look for clasp marks). Origin: United Kingdom. Material: 9ct Yellow Gold (Hallmarked '375'). Period: Circa 1965-1975. Dimensions: 7 Inches (Length); Head approx 14mm wide. Weight: 14.9g. Condition: Excellent vintage condition; stones secure; mesh remains fluid without kinks.
