Pair of Beaded and Double-Link Chain Stretch Bracelets

This item consists of a pair of matching bracelets featuring a hybrid design. Half of the circumference of each piece is composed of uniformly sized, spherical metallic beads with a matte or brushed satin finish, while the other half consists of a decorative double-link or 'parallel link' chain. The metal exhibits a muted, champagne-gold or aged silver tone, suggesting they may be made of a plated base metal such as brass or pewter. The construction appears to be elastic or 'stretch' style, as no visible clasps or closures are present, indicating the beads and chain are likely threaded onto a high-tension internal cord. The beads show minor surface abrasions and a slight dulling of the finish, consistent with moderate wear and age. The chain links appear intact with no signs of significant deformation, though some light oxidation or tarnish is visible in the recessed areas. This style of multi-texture jewelry was popular in late 20th-century costume jewelry, roughly dating from the 1980s to the early 1990s. There are no clearly visible maker’s marks or hallmarks, suggesting mass-market production rather than artisanal fine jewelry. The craftsmanship is functional and typical for mid-range vintage costume accessories.
