Gold and Citrine Quartz Bangle-Clip Combination, circa 1940

The hinged bangle of polished gold centering a large oval citrine quartz, the shoulders accented with clusters of round, emerald-cut and oval citrines in pale yellow and orangy-brown hues, within gold collets, detachable to be worn as a pair of clips. 

Good condition with light scratching to the gold and minor discoloration. Very small spot of solder visble at the hinge. The central citrine is an eye-clean medium brownish orange; there are some small specks of detritus resting on the closed-back setting underneath the citrine. The citrines on the shoulders are predominantly eye-clean and present shades of pale golden yellow and rich orange-brown.
