I was looking at some pictures I once made from some jewelry I once bought, and I ran across this beauty.
I don't even know for sure if I still have it, but I think it might be hidden under some other gems.
Its a gold tone bracelet with (I think) glass stones and simulated pearls
It looks victorian, some sort of byzantium-style, but looking at the clasp I think its much more modern.
So how old do you think this bracelet is?

I think it's from the 1950's. Many old jewelry styles were revived in the 50's - and lots of costume jewelry was produced in the 50's. Many women had a little extra $ to spend on fashion. Nice quality w/keeper chain.
It looks like it could be a Goldette piece.
Thanks valentino97 and MawamaMama for the loving and the comment!
I think the 1950/1960's because I have had also a bracelet with this kind of clasp.
Look up Victorian [style, revival] "slide bracelet".
