Gold-Tone Curb Link Bracelet with Inset Clear Stones

This item is a costume jewelry link bracelet featuring a yellow gold-tone finish over a base metal. The bracelet is constructed of interlocking modified curb-style links, each measuring approximately 10-12mm in width. A distinguishing feature of this piece is that every link is embellished with a small, clear, round faceted stone—likely glass or cubic zirconia—centrally mounted in a protective bezel or prong setting. The metal reflects a warm, high-polish luster, though there is visible surface wear consistent with age and previous use. Specifically, the gold-plating shows signs of thinning or minor scratches on the high-friction areas of the links. The clasp appears to be a fold-over jewelry hinge mechanism, which is typical for mid-to-late 20th-century costume pieces, roughly estimated between the 1970s and 1990s. No prominent maker’s marks are visible in the provided image, suggesting it may be a mass-produced fashion accessory. The overall craftsmanship is uniform, with secure settings and fluid movement between the links, although the lack of hallmarks or precious metal indications points toward it being a decorative fashion piece rather than fine jewelry. The stone settings remain intact with no obvious missing gems from the visible angle.
