Vintage Abalone Inlay Silver Tone Bangle Bracelet

Description
Six talismans for fortune hang from a sturdy curb chain: a painted eight ball, a four-leaf clover, a horseshoe, an acorn, a textured star, and a coin stamped “Republik Österreich 20.” Good luck charm bracelets were a mid-century favorite, collected one keepsake at a time, and this one pairs Old World symbols with a playful nod to the pool hall. The charms move and chime softly as you wear it. It stacks easily with other bracelets, or it can stand alone as a small constellation of wishes at the wrist.

Gold-tone base metal, painted wood
