Vintage MIDAS 14k Solid Yellow Gold Lapis Lazuli Bead Bracelet Modern Abstract

Vintage 14K Yellow Gold & Rich Lapis Lazuli Bead Bracelet – Signed MIDAS A timeless beauty straight out of the 1970s–1980s golden era of bold gold jewelry. This is the exact bracelet everyone is hunting for: ten deep cobalt-blue lapis lazuli beads, each hand-set in heavy 14K yellow gold.Details * Metal: Solid 14K yellow gold throughout (hallmarked "MIDAS 14K" on the original oval tag) * Gemstone: 10 natural lapis lazuli round beads, intense royal blue with the classic flecks of golden pyrite * Bead size: graduated 7.6 mm to 9.8 mm (most are 8.5–9 mm – gorgeous large size) * Total gold weight: approximately 8.5 grams of 14K gold * Length: 7 3/8 inches (perfect average size, sits beautifully on the wrist) * Clasp: secure 14K lobster clasp in perfect working order * Condition: Excellent vintage condition – no chips, no cracks, no repairs. Gold has a warm, buttery patina that only age can give. This is not lightweight fashion jewelry – every single component is solid 14K gold: the ornate bead caps, the linking rings, the chain sections, the clasp, even the signature tag. The deep blue lapis pops dramatically against the rich yellow gold, and the graduated beads give it wonderful movement and drape. Signed MIDAS pieces from this period have become increasingly collectible; the company was known for using noticeably heavier gold than most of its competitors. If you have any questions let me know.
