Vintage Damascene Shell Bracket c.1950s

 A striking mid-century bracelet with beautifully sculptural shell links, rich in detail and presence. Each clam shell form is intricately patterned, creating a piece that feels both ornamental and architectural on the wrist.

The bracelet has a lovely weight to it without being too heavy and fastens securely with a classic clasp and safety chain, a detail often seen in quality mid-century jewellery. The contrast between the warm gold tone and darker damascene-style detailing gives it depth and character, making it a true statement piece rather than a subtle accent.

Styling notes

Equally striking worn alone as a focal point or paired with simple knits, crisp shirting or evening wear. A piece that elevates even the most understated outfit.

Fit

Approx. 7” length. Sits neatly and comfortably on the wrist.

Condition

Very good vintage condition, with light, age-consistent wear only.

Material

Gold-tone metal with damascene-style detailing.

Why it matters

An increasingly hard-to-find example of mid-century costume jewellery, chosen for its craftsmanship, sculptural form and lasting appeal. Curated, considered and selected for longevity and individuality.
