Vintage Tortoise Glass and Black Glass Bead Link Bracelet

Description
Warm tortoise glass glows like amber held to the light, set between faceted black beads and slender black bugle links. This 1960s bracelet is wire-linked by hand in gold tone, giving it a fluid, almost weightless drape on the wrist. The contrast of honeyed translucence and deep jet black feels both earthy and nocturnal. Easy to stack with gold chains or wear on its own.
