Vintage Faux-Turquoise Cluster Bracelet

This item is an elaborate vintage costume jewelry bracelet featuring a high-density cluster of faceted, faux-turquoise beads. The beads are various sizes, ranging from roughly 6mm to 10mm, and are crafted from a composite material or glass designed to mimic stabilized turquoise, complete with faux brownish-matrix veining. Each bead is individually capped with a decorative gold-toned metal fluted bead cap and attached via headpins to a central expansion or hinged metal base. The metal structure appears to be silver-toned or rhodium-plated base metal, demonstrating a mix of metals typical in mid-century costume jewelry. The construction is a cascade or 'fringe' style, creating a voluminous, three-dimensional look. Regarding condition, there is visible oxidation and verdigris on some of the metal components, particularly where the pins meet the beads. Some beads show minor surface wear and scuffing, consistent with a mid-20th-century age (est. 1950s-1960s). The craftsmanship is characteristic of high-end costume brands like Miriam Haskell or Trifari, though no specific maker's mark is visible in the provided image. The overall aesthetic is bold and textural, representing the 'Atomic Age' preference for chunky, organic-looking accessories.
