Art Deco Style Link Bracelet with MOP and Enamel Accents

This is a vintage or antique link bracelet, likely dating to the Art Deco period (1920s-1930s) or a later revival style due to its geometric design and material choices. The bracelet features a series of alternating links, primarily composed of a gold-toned metal, possibly gold-filled, gold-plated, or a lower karat gold alloy, exhibiting a warm, rich yellow luster. The craftsmanship suggests a commercial production rather than unique artisan work, but with attention to detail. Several links are rectangular with sloped or stepped sides, inlaid with what appears to be mother-of-pearl (MOP) or a similar iridescent shell material, displaying a subtle sheen and light-colored, possibly off-white or very light gray hue. These MOP inlays are precisely cut to fit the geometric shapes of the links, with some showing fine lines or striations consistent with natural shell. Other links are more complex, featuring black enamel work in geometric patterns, such as an 'X' shape or stacked bars, set against the gold-toned metal. One distinctive link in the form of a small rectangular box has an intricate black enamel design, possibly an abstracted letter or symbol. There is also a circular link that frames a larger, cabochon-cut, possibly moonstone or similar opaque gem, with a milky, translucent quality. Another oval-shaped link contains a smooth, white, spherical pearl, set within a bezel or simple claw setting. The bracelet is constructed with individual links connected by small circular or oval jump rings, providing flexibility. The clasp, visible at one end, appears to be a spring-ring or a similar secure closure mechanism. The overall condition shows some signs of wear consistent with age, such as possible minor surface scratches on the metal and inlays, and potential slight tarnishing or corrosion on the metal parts, though these are not clearly discernible in the provided image due to lighting. There are no immediately obvious breaks, missing pieces, or significant repairs. The geometric shapes, material combinations, and use of contrasting colors (gold, black, white/iridescent) are characteristic of the Art Deco aesthetic, emphasizing modernism and clean lines.
