Description
Two rows of creamy faux pearls run through the center of this bracelet, edged on each side by a line of clear rhinestones, like moonlight between two bands of stars. It dates to the 1950s and is built on the stainless expansion links American makers used for slip-on bracelets in that decade. The links flex smoothly over the hand and then settle comfortably on the wrist. It makes a polished choice for evening and stacks easily with pearl strands or gold chains.

Gold-tone metal, stainless steel, faux pearls, clear rhinestones
