Vintage Sterling Silver Figaro Link Bracelet with Scallop Shell Charm

This item is a 5.7-gram sterling silver bracelet featuring a classic figaro link design, characterized by an alternating pattern of three short circular links followed by one elongated oval link. Attached to the chain is a decorative charm in the shape of a bivalve scallop shell, featuring detailed vertical ribbing and a small inset spherical bead, likely a cultured pearl, nestled within the shell's cavity to mimic a 'pearl in a shell' motif. The chain is secured with a fold-over box clasp that appears to be hallmarked with textured patterns or maker's marks, indicative of late 20th-century craftsmanship. The metal displays a moderate aged patina with dark oxidation in the recessed areas of the chain links and shell ribbing, which highlights the textural details. No significant structural damage is visible, though light surface scuffing is present consistent with regular use. The overall quality suggests a mass-marketed yet well-constructed piece of fine jewelry from the 1980s or 1990s.
