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.

This bracelet is 7 1/4" long, 13/16" band width and 1 1/" stone section.

This bracelet reminds me a great deal of the bracket on page 33 of Ann Pitman book in style

"Trifari", the necklace is adjustable and has a "J" hook. I totally agree with Julia Carroll's sentiment about the "Memo" ad. In her "Collecting Costume Jewelry 202" p. 226 she writes "This advertisement features some of the most beautiful jewelry Trifari produced".
