Vintage Mother of Pearl Inlay Hinge Bangle

This is a wide, vintage-style hinged bangle bracelet featuring an intricate mosaic of mother of pearl tiles set into a brass-toned metal frame. The bracelet is constructed with horizontal rows of rectangular white mother of pearl inlays that exhibit characteristic iridescence and creamy white hues. The metalwork consists of two wide decorative bands with embossed scrollwork and floral motifs flanking a central hinge mechanism. It features an integrated pin-style closure, which appears slightly bent, extending from the side. The overall construction suggests an artisanal or mid-20th-century costume jewelry piece, likely produced in the 1960s or 1970s, potentially as a souvenir or export piece from the Middle East or Asia. Condition-wise, the metal shows significant patina, oxidation, and surface wear consistent with age. There are visible gaps and variations in the tile alignment, indicating it was handmade. The inner metal lining shows signs of discoloration and age-related wear, though the structural integrity of the main frame and tiles seems intact despite the bent pin.
