Beaded Chain Mail Mesh Hand Piece

This item is a decorative hand piece or glove-style jewelry item, designed with a flexible, open-mesh lattice structure. The piece is constructed from small metal jump rings and wire pin connections that secure numerous round, transparent glass or plastic beads. The beads appear to have a bi-color or 'cat's eye' effect, with a clear exterior and a golden-amber core or streak. The construction mimics traditional chain mail but utilizes jewelry-grade wirework to create a delicate web-like pattern that drapes over the hand. The metal components show signs of oxidation and a darkened patina, suggesting an aged finish or the use of base metals like brass or antiqued steel. While no specific maker's marks are visible, the craftsmanship indicates a hand-assembled assembly typical of vintage costume jewelry or contemporary artisanal 'slave bracelets' / hand flowers. The condition appears fair, with some inconsistency in the tension of the wire loops and evidence of minor surface wear on the beads. This style of hand jewelry grew in popularity during the late 20th century, often associated with Bohemian or Gothic fashion revivals.
