Vintage Diamante Expandable Bracelet
This is a pretty vintage Diamante expandable bracelet, made in Hong Kong during the 1940’s-1950’s. This bracelet is in good condition with none of it’s stones missing.
The bracelet is expandable with three rows of Diamante/white rhinestone. It is stamped Empire Made on the inside of the cuff. It would make a beautiful Festive gift, birthday gift or would be perfect for that special night out!
‘Empire Made’ means that it was made in the British Empire, of which Hong Kong was the last surviving territory.
It’s a hangover from the days when Britain had an Empire, and goods made in the British Empire enjoyed a lower rate of import duty into the UK than goods made in other countries. It was called the ‘Empire Duty Preference Scheme’, and was usually part of a reciprocal trade agreement to help UK exports. Goods from non-Empire countries had to have either the country of origin or ‘foreign’ marked on them.
