Rhinestone Bow and Faux Pearl Double-Strand Bracelet

This item is a piece of costume jewelry featuring a double-strand of cream-colored faux pearls connected by a large, ornate central bow motif. The bow is heavily embellished with clear and slightly yellowed marquise-cut rhinestones, each surrounded by a halo of smaller round-cut pavé crystals. The metallic base for the rhinestones appears to be a silver-tone alloy, possibly rhodium or nickel-plated, which shows signs of tarnishing and oxidation consistent with age. The faux pearls exhibit a high-luster nacreous coating, though close inspection reveals minor surface abrasions and some peeling typical of mid-20th-century costume beads. Construction-wise, the pearls are strung on a semi-flexible cord, possibly elastic or multi-strand wire, suggesting a stretch-style fit for various wrist sizes. The central bow serves as both a decorative focal point and a structural bridge for the two strands. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures on the reverse of the setting shown, but the style is reminiscent of mass-produced glamour jewelry from the 1950s to 1980s. Notable condition issues include a slight yellowing of the adhesive used to secure the larger stones and some dulling of the smaller decorative crystals, which may indicate moisture exposure or natural aging of the foil backing.
