Rare Vintage 1950’s Elegant Abalone and Crystal Women's Bracelet

This item is a vintage scarab bracelet (or Egyptian Revival bracelet) featuring orange-toned rhinestones and abalone shell inlays. The scarab beetle was a popular motif in jewelry, especially during resurgences in the 1920s-1930s and again in the 1950s-1970s, symbolizing protection, transformation, and rebirth. Key Features Design: The bracelet is segmented into four links, each featuring a large oval centerpiece. These centerpieces appear to be carved or molded to resemble scarab beetles, a common design element in this style of jewelry. Materials: Stones/Inlay: The pieces feature orange-hued stones and iridescent abalone shell inlays, a combination found in various vintage pieces. Metal: The metal appears to be an aged or antiqued bronze/gold-tone base metal, rather than a fine metal like 14k gold, as fine metal versions typically use solid, uniformly carved gemstones. Origin & Era: While the scarab is an ancient Egyptian symbol, the style, featuring this combination of materials and link construction, suggests it was likely manufactured for the mid-20th-century US or international market (circa 1950s-1970s). This stunning bracelet features vibrant abalone stones set in an elegant gold design. Perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to any outfit. Note one crystal missing as shown.
