Very rare vintage Ben Reig hinged bangle in goldtone with coral color thermoset stones and clear rhinestones. Late 1940s. Marked BEN REIG. The American design firm Ben Reig operated from the 1930s through the 1960s and I believe is known more for its clothing than its jewelry.
Very rare vintage Ben Reig hinged bangle in goldtone with coral color thermoset stones and clear rhinestones. Late 1940s. Marked BEN REIG. The American design firm Ben Reig operated from the 1930s through the 1960s and I believe is known more for its clothing than its jewelry.
This piece has a beautiful openwork design made up of many small Maltese crosses studded with thermoset plastic faux coral cabochon stones, and clear rhinestones. Perfect any time of the year but especially for resort and summer wear.
1 1/4 inches wide by just over 7 inches inside circumference. Inside diameters are 2 1/4 inches and 2 inches. Excellent condition. The two edges are offset by a couple of millimeters but this is original to the piece; the hinge is tight and it appears rarely if ever worn. You will not notice this and I mention it strictly for accuracy. Photos enlarged to show detail.
