QuickviewTurquoise Glass Bead & Diamanté 1950s Bracelet
Vintage Bracelets, 1950s Jewelry, Unsigned JewelryUSD$155.00
QuickviewTurquoise Glass Bead & Diamanté 1950s Bracelet
Vintage Bracelets, 1950s Jewelry, Unsigned JewelryThis bracelet was made in one of the most popular colors of the 1950s: turquoise. It features molded-glass leaves interspersed with diamanté and woven onto a gold-tone mesh cuff. This bold, three-dimensional hinged bracelet is not for the faint-hearted! Because it has a hinge but no clasp, this bracelet can accommodate a variety of wrist sizes. This is a rare instance where I have two of the same jewels, and they are shown together in the last photo. However, the bracelets are priced separately, so you may choose to buy only one. Scroll down to see the matching earrings and necklace.USD$155.00 -

The photos show this piece worn doubled; if you have a slim neck, you could also wear it tripled!USD$250.00 -

QuickviewTurquoise Drop French 1950s Earrings

They feature a large turquoise art-glass nugget hanging from a matching button-shaped stone designed to adorn the earlobe. The filigree earring backs have the traditional French clips of the era – actually, they and the glass buttons are the same elements as those used by Rousselet. The art glass is stunning, and the color is gorgeous!USD$185.00
