1950's SNAKE CHAIN GILT BRACELET WITH LEAF & BLUE STONES DECORATION

This is a beautiful bracelet - probably 1950's.  It consists of a gilt snake chain with a central piece threaded on.  This is in white rhodium plated metal and gold plate.  It has deep blue stones and white paste stones.  I do think this is Marcel Boucher.  It has one of his stock numbers on  - but the other mark is indecipherable.  I cannot therefore sell it as Boucher although it certainly looks like it.  (If anyone seems it in a book somewhere please let me know!  Full description on my web site - www.gillianhorsup.com - price £135 reference 2567 B123/3 - or all in to Grays Antiques in central London - 020 7499 8121.
