So I could really use some help with this bracelet. I am getting a 70s feel from it but am worried I am way off. My actual fear is that it is even more modern. In addition - I am really starting to overuse words such as unique, interesting, chunky, funky, fun, etc and if anyone has some good descriptors and keywords for this bracelet, I would be forever grateful. It does have some stone missings (you can see in close up pic) and wear to gold plating (I assume gold plating) but it still has an overall great look.

Am wondering if the clasp is a replacement...those lines on it are throwing me off - it looks wrong for the piece. Bracelet has no markings at all. Dont think it is worth a lot but I would still like to be accurate plus it is a great opportunity for more learning.

Thanks so much!

That's a pretty piece Maureen, and that foldover clasp with grooves looks right for 50's/60's bracelets, and not a replacement.

For descriptors, hmmmm let's see -- sector shaped openwork panels, simulated filigree, fancy link, articulated, multi-colored stones -- that's all I could think of for now, but hopefully you can pull some useful keywords out of it, lol.

More folks will chime in with good words I'm sure.
 
I agree with the '50's- '60's dating. Laura came up some great words you can use in your description. I recommend replacing the missing stones before you list it. It's a very easy fix since they glue-in. If you don't have any stones you can probably get a rhinestone mix and glue (Hypo-cement) from Stef at www.prettysnazzy.com

Thanks all! I really appreciate. I may take to flea market and see what happens. Wld def try to replace stones before listing. Thanks for the website Linn. I wouldn't have known where to begin.

Unrelated note...just sitting down to watch 1956 movie The Opposite Sex. So far clothes are amazing.
