Vintage Avon Signed Gold Tone Wire Bangle | Teardrop Loop Rhinestone Cuff | 1980s–90s

This Avon wire bangle is as minimal as costume jewelry gets — a single continuous gold-tone wire forming an open cuff, one end terminating in a small prong-set rhinestone, the other looped into an open teardrop form that catches it like a clasp. The design has a modernist simplicity that sits closer to fine jewelry in its restraint than most pieces in this category. It slips onto the wrist with ease and disappears there in the best way.

Materials Gold-tone base metal, rhinestone
