This is a wonderful sterling silver and chalcedony bracelet, c. 1960s. The center of the bracelet is a locket topped with a large oval chalcedony stone. The original insert and glass inside the locket are in place and in excellent condition. The bracelet is also set with five cabochon chalcedony stones and measures 7 1/2" long x 3/4" at the widest point. It is beautifully crafted and in really excellent condition with no signs of wear. The clasp is well hidden beneath one of the stones and has a safety chain for security. This is a very unusual and well made bracelet - surprisingly, for such a fine piece, there are no marks, but it tests solid sterling and I believe it to be hand crafted.
