The interior cuff bracelet measures approximately 6 1/2" in interior circumference including the gap. The widest point is 1 1/8" at is widest part. It could be made smaller or larger. However, I would suggest taking to a jeweler to make the fit right for you. This bracelet weighs 36.8 grams.
There is a rub to the Japanned area on the right hand side of the profile.
This is a fabulously decadent-looking bracelet. It is hallmarked Trifari & Pat Pend Corp on the back of one end.
This bracelet focuses on the stunning center piece, which, on this item, is comprised of open-backed and prong-set oval-shaped brilliant teal/green rhinestones in 2 sizes. These are flanked by tiny clear rounds. All the stones in the large domed center piece are faceted , and set into a shiny tessellated gold metalwork band, in which golden links are flexibly woven together resembling brickwork or a honey-combed design. Very elegant with a lot of symmetry and detail.

The Hollycraft Jewelry name
The Hollywood Jewelry Manufacturing Company started using the Hollycraft name in 1948, perhaps because of customer confusion between Hollywood Jewelry Manufacturing’s jewelry and jewelry produced by Joseph of Hollywood. Hanging tags with Hollycraft on one side and “Created by Hollywood Jewelry Mfg. New York” on the flip side originated during that same year.
Hollycraft costume jewelry of the 1950s
The heyday for many Hollycraft collectors is jewelry produced during the 1950s. For one thing, Hollywood Jewelry Manufacturing started marking dates on Hollycraft costume jewelry around 1950, making the jewelry easier to identify. In fact, because of the dating process, and the addition the © sign to Hollycraft costume jewelry after 1955, many collectors choose to collect Hollycraft vintage jewelry by the year.
The look of Hollycraft vintage jewelry
There are two interlocking Hollycraft jewelry signatures to look for. First, Hollycraft vintage jewelry is prized for its beautiful designs using rich, pastel-colored rhinestones. Some designs used a single color, while others used several sparkly colors.
The necklace is 16" long.Supposed retail value in the neighborhood of $1,500.00)
None of the moonstones are enhanced.

The brooch is in the form of a highly detailed elephant's head with its trunk curled up to "hold" a loop from which dangle turquoise glass beads. The beads are knobby, mottled art glass, most likely hand crafted. The pin is hallmarked "Alexander Korda". The pin is roughly 1 3/4" wide x 2 3/4" long A seldom seen piece!

. Coro Sterling Craft Goose in Flight Brooch is Bold in Flight and in Size and remarkable in detail. The brooch was designed in 1941 by Gene Verrecchia. As you can see, the wings are not only detailed, the front wing is curved as it is in actual flight. The goose’s neck is stretched outward, its tail feathers trailing behind. When you hear the sound of the wild geese overhead in migration and look upward, this is the figure we see in the great flocks.

Cadoro was found after WW2. Cadoro jewelry reflected the bold artistic acumen and strong influence of the worldwide travel of its partners, Dan Steneskieu and actor Steve Brody. The business continued for only a few years after Steneskieu's death in the mid- 1970s. Cadoro pieces are among the finest to be found today, each bearing the imprint of these ingenious gentlemen, who were determined to imbue their jewelry with imaginative designs and a " touch of class".

RARE
The bracelet is marked McClelland Barclay on the open clasp link. The back is worn but the front is in very good condition. The plating is 14kt gold over brass and the paste stones are set in silver plated channel. The bracelet has Faux ruby sets that are of the Verneuil process of flame fusion of synthetic crystal making. These are very good faux ruby of pigeon blood red color. The depth of bracelet is almost 5/8" with width 3/4" x 7" long. Very collectable and almost impossible to find this vintage piece signed by the engraved signature of McClelland Barclay.
The name McClelland Barclay is one of the most respected names in costume jewelry. An artist, sculpture, and jewelry designer, he started in jewelry in the 1930s and he was killed in World War 11 in early 1943. From sometime in 1932 to 1938 he designed jewelry and commissioned different manufactures to produce his jewelry about 1935. Not just 1 but several and one of them being "Rice Weiner Co", who made most of his jewelry for him.
McClelland Barclay jewelry is marked that way in his own signature and engraved into the metal and not applied to disc.
His work is highly Art Deco and from the 1930s is much sought after because of his artistic design.
The frame of the brooch is a delightful engraved and scrolled silver design which softens the precise pattern of stones.
The “T” pin and “C” clasp are entirely original. A small ring has been added at some time to make the piece possible to be worn as a pendent. It is best worn as a brooch. The condition is excellent.
The cuts, myriad in patterns, impart a vivacious sparkle, a personality to the crystal. It is hallmarked with the Waterford@Crystal mark-a sign that the centuries-old tradition of Waterford lives on in the piece you hold in your hand. THE PANEL FOR ENGRAVING OR PERSONALIZATION IS UNCUT.
