Huge vintage Butler and Wilson (B&W) signed iconic gold tone and red, black enamel military medal design cuff bangle bracelet
Fabulous and large vintage signed Butler and Wilson ornate gold tone with black and red enamel medal deign bangle. The medal motif is iconic from B&W in the 1980s (the last picture is a press picture from that time of Princess Diana wearing a large B&W medal brooch). There is a circular signature plate on the the reverse near one 'arm' of the cuff, signed Butler and Wilson. The bangle is in very good vintage condition.
In 1969, Nicky Butler and Simon Wilson began selling antique jewellery from their stand in their Antiquarius Market in the King's Road, Chelsea. In 1972 they opened their first shop on the Fulham Road and began adding their own designs, inspired by the vintage pieces they sold. Many famous people wear and have worn their designs, including Princess Diana, and the brand was a top seller in Harrods for many years. I love this article about Diana's love of B&W jewellery alongside her precious gems: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-4773224/Diana-s-rainbow-rare-stones-favourites-fakes.html B&W military pieces were also re-introduced recently in 2017: https://www.butlerandwilson.co.uk/blogs/simonsays/military
