On another web site, I saw this bangle in resin washed butterscotch and it had a Hattie Carnegie foil hang tag on it, but this has no identification at all. I don’t like making attributions by hang tag only because it is so easy to move them from one piece to another, so let’s call this a lovely vintage bangle. View View #B64326 |
