This 1940s bracelet by Kreisler features the flexible gold-tone links and tasseled end that were very popular Retro Modern design elements. The company referred to the pattern of these woven links as basket-weave and designed several bracelets, necklaces, and brooches with this link pattern. A decorative buckle adorned with diamanté and ruby-glass stones adds elegance to the design of this bracelet. The matching necklace and brooch were advertised in the March 15, 1946 issue of Vogue.
