Fabulous handmade seed bead pearl braceletItem# 12127
This is a fabulous wide handmade seed bead pearl bracelet with a huge gold floral clasp. The bracelet measures 8" long and 2 3/4" wide. The clasp is 2 3/4" wide by 2" long. It appears to be hand made and covered with jeweled flowers that are studded with multi colored rhinestones. The clasp is solid and there are two safety clasps. There are twelve rows of seed beads sewn together that make up the bracelet portion. One pearl has a tiny fray, but is not broken. The bracelet is not signed and my guess is that it was made in the Asia around the 1970's. The condition is very good, because it is a handmade rather than a manufactured piece, it is not perfect when clasped. It is very slightly off alignment and the pearls don't use all of the loops available. There are no missing or darkened stones and it has a generous amount of sparkle. This is a very showy piece that may have been made for the runway. If so, it is a showstopper! This piece has been in my own collection for many years.
