I obtained this bangle recently. It’s a little different from things I’ve had in the past. The bangle is made from a heavy base metal with a silver plated finish on top. It has a modern design with a molten looking texture on the front.
The maker’s mark is “DS Handmade Denmark”. Another well-respected site shows a simliar piece of vintage jewelry with the same mark and attributes it to Jacob Hull. Hull was active in the 1960s-1970s and was know for using silver plating.
If anyone can help me with further info, I’d much appreciate it!

Hello, my name is Mitzi Curi and I’m an antique dealer in Michigan. I just discovered your blog today and am so excited! The posts I’ve read so far are right up my alley. I know I will learn a lot from your informative blog. Please stop by and visit me at my blog: http://www.mitziscollectibles.typepad.com
We can compare notes!
Please let me know if you are still looking for information on this piece. Jacob Hull was fanatical about marking his work. As this is marked with a DS, my first inclination is that it is not a Jacob Hull. Although he did use silver, and gold plating, in particular for the designs created for B&D, those were always marked B&D, as well as either JHULL, or HULL. With the exception of the pieces for B&D, Hull worked alone, and was exceptionally diligent about protecting his work. There are a number of websites which discuss Jacob Hull, his work, and practices.
