What a lovely vintage find! This is a vintage expansion bracelet that is often called a sweetheart bracelet. This is marked Made in Occupied Japan so it dates from the mid 1940s to 1950s. This is done in a gold tone metal. The metal is in wonderful condition. It features a rhinestone centerpiece. The rhinestones are a pretty shade of blue. They are set into a stylized flower. It is a great Mid Century Modern styled piece. This style bracelet dates from the 1900s to the 1950s. Stunning piece of history! *** I do have several others listed so check those out too Weight: 33 grams Condition: Very good vintage condition, vintage patina consistent with age; wear to the lacquer sealer on the flower section Measurements; 1 1/2" wide; 5" unstretched - can easily fit up to 7 1/2" wrist Markings: Made in Occupied Japan Please examine enlarged photos for details and condition. Much more beautiful in real life. I am not an expert on vintage jewelry, but I do buy and sell what I love! Since these items are vintage, they may have a wonderful aged patina and are not meant or expected to look brand new. I treasure their imperfections as part of their charm and history.
